UPDATED: DEC 20, 2008 [bottle - 22 oz] Clear yellow pour with a fizzy white head. Lightly sweet aroma of cloves, coriander and some orange zest. Kind of faint though. Flavor is kind of dry and sweet with some orange and coriander in it. A cross between a run of the mill saison and a pale lager. Nothing that impressive. [[800th Rating]]

Initial pour has a large head with a slightly hazy orange/annatto color, subsequent pours resulted in a darker more murky color. Aroma of pepper, orange peel, yeast, rising dough, and ginger. Taste not as noticable as the aroma, mainly pepper with a very dry finish. I would of liked more of the Saaz in aroma and taste.

Cloudy yellow-orange presence with a very heavy pale yellow head that thickly laces the glass as it slowly recedes. The orange and ginger comes through in the aroma and in the taste. it leaves a pleasant bit of bitterness in it’s aftertaste.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
the first and as far as i know only beer of this style that i have had. from a 22oz. bottle pours very clear dark golden with a white head. this beer has an interesting sweet fruity aroma with white grapes and yeast dominating. the flavor is a bit disappointing. sweet malt combined with a bit of yeast and quite a bit of spice make for a decent front but these flavors trail off leaving a bitter finish with nothing much to back it up.

Pours a cloudy golden color with a large white head. Aroma is slightly sweet with notes of wheat, grain, and grassy hops. Unfortunately, the aroma reminds me of the aromas of crappy light domestic beers, only a bit sweeter and maybe a touch more of fruit. Damn, it tastes sort of like a cheap domestic as well. Like a Natty Ice but maybe with a bit more flavor. The taste is very herbal with a harsh grain kick. There is way too much spice in this one as well. Very dissapointed - this is the first Rogue beer that I haven’t liked.

22oz. bottle. Strongly sweet and fruity aroma, notes of honeyish and crackery malts combine with elements of orange, pear, melon, herbal flowers, ginger, musty yeast, perfume and light, peppery, grassy Saaz hop spice. Medium golden color with a tint of amber, initial pour is fairly clear but the remainder of the bottle looks to contain a generous dosage of powdery yeast. Head is very fine and slight. Flavor is lightly bitter and herbal to start, becoming quite fruity and flowery with hints of peach and heavy handed spices, finishing with a burst of sugary sweetness, mild hop flavor and faintly acidic citrus. A bit discordant. Thin and lightly oily on the palate, highly effervescent and with a medium body. Oddly tinged aftertaste, must be the lingering herbal components. I had higher hopes for this one.
