Hazed golden-orange lager withg a decent cap that lasts and laces. Aromas of sweet doughy malts, hints of straw a light mustiness. Nice subtle pleasing aroma. Great malt spine...chewy bready malts in the front with herbal-grassy hop offset, light lemony effect in the clean finish. A top flight lager...but the price sucks.

Dégusté avec French tickler et Agaguk, acheté à la LCBO en format de 660ml et dégusté dans un verre de sleeman silver creek. Apparence jaune or avec une faible effervescence et peu de mousse. Arômes de maïs herbal avec un trait de yogourt à la vanille et de levure de pain rehaussé d’une touche de citron. Goût de maïs et de treffle. Une bière plutôt ordinaire mais de bonne qualitée.

Dégusté avec Agaguk et grandgenie. Apparence jaune pipi plein de vitamines, bonne mousse blanche nuageuse qui colle un peu au verre. Aromes de mais, herbal, vanille et miel. Palait un peu crémeux, bonne effervescence et peu granuleux. Gout de mais reviens, biscuit de thé... Tres ordinaire, de loin la moin bonne de Rogue que j’ai eu l’opportunité de dégusté.

crystal clear yellow/gold pour with a light fluffy white head. Aroma is quite faint, there are touches of hops, and some minimal malts with a little bit of apple. Flavor is a touch malty, with a little bit of flowery hops, and again a apple like finish. Its not a bad lager, but i would have liked it to be a little maltier.

Appearance: Golden/straw yellow with an initially large but quickly diminishing white head. Aroma: Malt, grass, slight summer fruit. It has ’that’ particular hop aroma I dislike. Flavour: Malty, quite grassy again with sweetness and floral notes, slightly bitter dry finish. Definitely my least favourite so far of the Rogue products. I love the bottle however :-) Also, like JesseM says below - fair play to Rogue for continuing to put up with the Ontario/LCBO cr@p.

650 mL. Cloudy orange-copper with a small but persistent foamy, white head. Aroma is malty, nutty, some bread, some straw, and a little citrus. Flavour is quite light, with some sweetish malt, grass, and hops. The hops add more flavour than bitterness, until the finish, where both are present. Body is medium-light. Fairly heavy carbonation. Don’t really get the Irish part, but it’s a nice lager.

650 ml bomber from the LCBO- Sparkling gold with a generous white fizzy cap, leaving good lace. Nose of floral hops, honey, buckwheat, bread crust, a bit of tin. Tastes of sweet saaz like hops, honey, rose petal, spices, biscuit and some lemon. Quite bitter and refreshing overall. Astringent finish. Not really a "premium lager" by any means. Seems very much like a pils to me. A good session brew.

22. Wow, this was disappointing even after going into it with no expectations of any kind. Pours a crystal clear medium gold, no head, very little lace, and no rising carb. Dry, nutty, grassy, slightly crackery nose. Creamy, softly carbed medium body. Wet grass, wet leaves, biscuit and nuts on the mid-palate. Nice and dry. Not very pleasant other than that.
