Jul 21, 2009 Updated: Jul 22, 2009Amber color kind of surprised me. I was expecting something darker and more menacing. Nose is of dying hops, heavy malts, light raisins, syrup, and alcohol. Palette is clean enough with decent enough weight. Solid mouth feel. The flavors were just kind of weak for a $13 beer. Can’t afford to buy like this often. When I do, I expect more. I’m not rating this based on price, but it sure makes a difference whether I’ll buy it again. A little fruit, a lot of malt. Alcohol is pretty well balanced. Still I was expecting more. Drank next to a Avery Old Jubilation. Old Jubilation wins out based on malt balance, complexity, and value.

Jul 21, 2009 Purchased ceramic bottle with no doubt what to expect. First impression is malted milk balls with a hint of citrus hops. Two finger head that vanished quickly with little lacing on the pint. Malty up front giving way to a nice hoppy finish with a lingering bitterness. Nice hazy pale copper colour and a velvet mouthfeel. As with every Rogue I’ve tried, I’ll buy it again.

Jul 17, 2009 On tap at Ray’s, into tulip. Poured a darker amber with a respectable beige head that barely laced. Aroma: thin hop backbone, lots of malt and alcohol really upfront. Same for the flavor. I found this too overpowering to be enjoyed a second time.

Jul 15, 2009 75 cl bottle at my garage-tasting May 8th. Amber color, fine beige head. Aroma is hops and malt, a bit fruit. Flavor is malty, sweet, dried fruit and has a lot of hoppy bitterness in the finish

Jul 12, 2009 Draft at the Nook. Amber/orange in the glass with a thin off-white head that settles out to a ring and had light lacing. Aromas of toasted malts and a light hop background. The flavor had some floral, pine, and a malt backing. Medium body with a light bitterness.

Jul 11, 2009 Bottle. The mix of hops and dry fruits reminds me of a american barley wine/DIPA. Lacks in complexity.
