3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a hazy golden color with a ton of carbonation to produce a white head. A little bit of ginger in the nose, but otherwise not much to smell. Soft flavor. Some dirty farmhouse flavor along with pepper? Surprisingly, quite easy to drink especially for 6.2%
1.3 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 4/20
Slightly hazy amber with a foamy white head. Aroma of old clothes kept too long in a closet. Grandpa’s flannel shirts. Maybe a hint of yeast. Perhaps. Yeast in the "flavor." Very disappointing beer from Rogue. Then again, they have quite a few disappointing beers among their successes.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
22 oz. bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar. Pours a hazy topaz amber color with a large white head and nice lacing. Aroma is sweet, peachy and yeasty with lots of interesting and somewhat odd spice notes. Flavor is also sweet and spicy, ripe summer fruits, light brown bread, citrus, pineapple, the ginger leaving a light biting spiciness in the finish. Medium body, fine, yet aggressive carbonattion.

Poured a hazy orange color with a massive white head that lasts and lasts. Aroma is primarily yeast with a mixture of fruitiness and spices. Taste is a blend of grass, spices, light citrus, herbal tones, and a dry hops finish. Interesting combination of flavors, but not my favorite style of brew.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap @ the Cock & Bull: Pours an orangish golden color with a large frothy off-white head. Aroma is spicy with hints of vinegar and mixed fruits. Flavor has hints of citrus, spices and dry hops leaving a mild bitter finish.

UPDATED: MAY 24, 2006 vinegar smell (acetic acid if your prefer), some candyish aroma. normal texture/carbonation. somewhat opague, a brown orange. gets hot when drank with spicy salsa/guac mix. pretty lousy overall. really sour.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours an orange-copper body with a large frothy white head and sparse floaties. The aroma is soapy and perfumey - notes of lavender, potpourri, dusty oranges, and others fruits. A real mishmash of flavours make this a little bit loud and incoherent but it still manages to be quite refreshing. High astringent carbonation with dusty yeast flavours, cheese, sweet fruit, and warm spice. Interesting. Purchased at Bello Vino, Ann Arbor in April 2006.

Thanks for sharing this one Mike! Huge white foam lasting a long, long time, while sitting on an amber transparent liquid. Lots of foamy lace. Yeasty sugars in the nose. Also in aroma are nuances of orange peel, slight caramel, and some grassy notes. Sweet caramel flavours, yeasty and slightly spiced with finish of hoppy corriander. Highly carbonated. Thanks Mikey!
