Bottled. A unclear orange beer with gunk floating around under a fast disappearing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of spices, fruit, yeast, and coriander, leading to a dry and slightly alcoholic finish.

(Bottle 65 cl) Completely unclear orangey golden with a handsome, off-white head. Spicy, tart, citrusy nose. Medium body with plenty of fruit flavours - citrus in particular - and spices. Has this light and refreshing tartness. The finish is distinctly bitter. Another interesting American Saison. 230407

Dull amber colour and big - a little too big - head. I hate when I have to take five minutes to pour a nice looking glass of beer. The aroma is rough as guts - musty with rotting fruits. I went back for a second smell and it was just as bad. A third try halfway through the glass was no improvement. Just a bad smelling beer. The flavour isn’t a whole lot better, though at least it bordered on palatable. It’s astringent, with faint orange notes peeking out from behind a wall of choking yeastiness. Way too much yeast taste in this one. There’s hardly anything else. Unbalanced and unpleasant. It’s been so long since my last Crustacean that I forgot Rogue <i>can</i> make horrible beer but now I’m reminded.

Bottle. Hazy orange coloured with an off white head. Fruity aroma of spices and citrus. Flavour of spices, citrus and fruits. Very carbonated.
