2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 LakeHigh (31) - Charleston, South Carolina, USA - OCT 26, 2011 I was attracted to this one both because it is amber, and I like the floral aromatic qualities of a beer which is dry hoped. The hops were pleasantly spicy and aromatic as expected, but the beer was very light, dry and highly carbonated. I fealt like the brewer was trying to make a beer which would not interfere with the hops dominance, and this was achieved, but at the cost of missing elements. Most everything I have tried from Rogue I have liked. This oneIi will just put into the " tried it once, now I know" category.
