2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
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

1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
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 can make horrible beer but now I’m reminded.
1.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 5/20
Cloudy blond color. The aroma smells of malt but also of orange soda (Fanta?). Some malt body, but the spicy mix (and orange peels) makes of it a horrible brew.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
(Bottle) Pours a thick, murky orangish brown body with a average-sized off-white head. Aroma of florals, citrus, and ginger. Flavor of orange peel, banana, nutmeg, and ginger. The second half of the bottle was quite gritty and lost my appeal for this beer.
