igneous1 (1415) - Davenport, Iowa, USA - APR 8, 2007
copper color, head is frothy, white. aroma is mostly malts, lots of lemon. flavor is fairly similar with a spot of noted bitterness...boring as hell...doesn’t even compare to the Saison de Pipaix I had earlier.

ultraspank (866) - Dublin, Ohio, USA - APR 4, 2007
Nose of fruit & yeast on pour. Spicy hops present to be sure. Aroma loses push as brew breathes. The beer pours a cloudy sparkling amber honey. The huge frothy white head is mostly lasting with no lace. The flavor is clean and well balanced with moderate acidity and no shortage of spice. The body is light, fizzy, and dry.

bitbucket (2072) - Kirkland, Washington, USA - APR 1, 2007
Bomber. Pours a clear copper with a large off-white head that leaves a wall of lace. Aroma of fruit and spice. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Sweet taste of oranges, fruit, toffee with a spicy dry finish.

mvcramer (233) - Lexington, Massachusetts, USA - MAR 26, 2007
Not one of Rogue’s finer brews. Poured with a nice golden amber color and an expected frothy, yeasty head. The aroma was a bit lacking - I didn’t get that spicy aroma that I was expecting. Drank fairly smoothly, decent body. Poor finish, as it was either too bitter or slightly astringent.

andyhite (308) - Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA - MAR 23, 2007
22oz bomber. fluffy plentiful head and a golden amber crystal clear pour. lacing apparent. aromas of spice, various herbs, but smells airy, almost like a thin-ness in aroma. hints of orange zest, and fluffy/light hops. tastes fruity and has a likeness to belgian strongs. odd bitter oaky finish. still tastes a bit thin.

brettpace (176) - New York City, New York, USA - MAR 22, 2007
This beer was ok, definatley not my favroite Rogue as the overall rating might imply. Pretty punchy, nice bite, and you can really taste the spice.

brianjames1 (540) - Northridge, California, USA - MAR 22, 2007
The highlight of this beer is its aroma, its flavor of festive spices is not bad but nothing to go ga-ga over, a good beer, good enough to buy during x-mas time.

elmatador00 (519) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - MAR 8, 2007
Pours a dark copper color. Alot of cabonation, with hints of fruit and spices. Medium bodied with some hopiness. Bitter aftertaste.
