Pours amber with a lingering head and nice lacing. Aroma is faint malt with a slight sewage smell. Ugh. Flavor is hops, sweet malt. Bitter throughout. Rogue has done much, much better.

22oz. bottle. Orange amber in color. Almond colored, foamy head. Belgian aroma, that’s all I get. Flavor of crisp malt with bitter hops and lots of orange zest.

Wow, Rogue didn’t use the Pacman yeast and instead used the appropriate yeast for the style. It shows. Heavily hazed amber with a large, foamy head. Floral, herbally aroma. A bit of citrus. Fairly similar to the Fantome Pissenlit.

bottle from lone hill. Clear golden with a fluffy white head. Strong sharp earthy barn yard aroma. Pleasantly crisp fruity taste.

(2005 Winter Ale Festival – Portland OR) Good Job Rogue. A great winter warmer with a nice flavor of hops and malts. I get a Belgian feel out of this beer. Nice color with a great hard I get a caramel flavor off the first taste and a great finish to this beer. Can I have more?

Bottle: Poured a deep dirty orangey color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and no lacing. Aroma of spicy yeast with a good Belgian style malt and some weird conflicting spices. Taste is also a weird mix between some Belgian style malt with some weird spices mix and a spicy yeasty finish. Full body with average carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Definitely lacking some typical Saison ester and very unfocused (seems to be a cross between a Saison, Tripel, Wit and a Belgian Strong Ale). Not the best from this usually good brewery.
