Palidor19 (1750), Brandon, Florida, USA Dec 21, 2005 Bold and flavorful. Hoilday spices yet doesnt totally feel like a holiday beer.
Beautiful bouqet of aroma and taste. With so many malts and hops used in this beer, its no wonder its so distinct. PhillyBeer2112 (2084), Orange Park, Florida, USA Dec 20, 2005 Weird. Fluffy. Herbal. Lavender. Lilac. Mint. Sweet. Soft. Pepper. Ginger. Buttery. Complex. Rough. Amber.

The general trend seems to be watery jefcon (997), Arlington, Virginia, USA Dec 19, 2005 Great looking brew, with a soapy head and translucent orange body. Plenty of lacing. Aromas are snickerdoodle -- cinnamon, sugar cookie, butter -- and some soap. Flavors are also lightly soapy, but there is a good spicy hop presence. The beer mellows on the middle and latter part of the profile. A bit thin on the palate. trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA Dec 19, 2005 Looks like a hefe with the pour, murky yellow with a massive white head Aroma is...unusual. Fruity and wheaty, with some soap and something sour. The taste is okay. Its mostly malts with ginger and orange flavors, but nothing really stands out. The mouthfeel is sticky and the finish is thin. I wanted this to be better. TheBeerCollector (548), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Dec 19, 2005 Probably my least favorite Rogue beer so far. I guess that I’m just not a big fan of this style. Pours a cloudy orange yellow with a decent head. Flavor and aroma are of fruity yeast. Body is thin and quite fizzy. Has a dry champagne finish. FoolishMortal (965), San Diego, California, USA Dec 18, 2005 22oz. bottle. Murky orange brown with a creamy white head. Spicy, fruity aromatics, rather complex. Vegetal spices and orange flavors. Spicy ester finish. Mouthfeel is medium, slightly dry. NYHarvey (2154), New York, New York, USA Dec 17, 2005 Updated: Jan 3, 2006Wow it really does smell like dirt and cat urine. I thought that was embellishment, but no this indeed smells of loamy soil and cat pissings. Hazy orange color with a mostly diminishing head...it starts out nice, but fades very fast. Color is good however. Tastes like soap and orange peel with the emphasis on the suds not the peel. I’ve had first time attempt homebrews that were better than this.
