Feb 16, 2004 Light copper color with a nice white creamy head and a little lacing. The aroma is dry and hoppy, fresh with a touch of caramel and alcohol. The flavor is earthy and balanced with a nice lasting bitterness. I was hoping to drink this sooner, but nevertheless it is still good.

Feb 16, 2004 Pours copper with a thin white head and some sparse lacing. Floaties! Ok. Caramel aromas followed by the happy hops, both citrus and floral. Big hop flavors starting citrus and floral, going malty and finishing out with some bitterness. Big body, hop filled palate, and that bitter finish make this a fine strong ale. Freshness!

Jan 24, 2004 Hazy oarnge,with a frothy,long lasting,head. Quite hoppy aroma,lots of floral,spicy hops and decent malt aromas as well. Super creamy palate,with soft carbonation. Start bitter,with bready/caramel malts following and more leafy hops. Quite substantial amount of malts though,not too overpowered by the extreme hops. Finish is hoppy(floral,earthy) with lingering malt. Great hop burps,I could drink this all night!!!

Jan 11, 2004 Murky gold in colour. Aroma is nicely hopped, with some flowers, citrus, and some sourness. Flavour was quite hoppy and spicy. Finished with a medium hoppy bitterness. I can't help but think that I have had this beer before. Thanks beerhugger for sharing this bottle with me.

Jan 10, 2004 A murky butterscotch beer with no lasting head. Hoppy on the nose but not like an IPA - just enought to tell you there will be some similarities in there. Crisp and almost spicy hoppiness leaves a pleasant bitter aftertaste - quite enjoyable. A solid debut to the Rogue Anniversary series. I hope to try a couple of others before the year is out.

Jan 9, 2004 super floral hop aroma, cloudy golden with a frothy off white head, some sticky corn like hoppiness, medium bitterness and a floral hop finish, pretty one dimensional

Dec 22, 2003 Very fresh hop aroma. Murky orange appearance. Some spicy sweet aromas, and a nice wheaty and
hoppy flavor, and though nothing really sticks out, it is quite nice.
