22oz. Pours a very clear golden yellow with a white head that is quickly gone. I cannot believe how much I like this beer. Nose is sweet breads for days with cake like yeasty presence. Body reminds me very much of some of my favorite grower champagnes: loads of yeasty goodness with a strong citrus and almost yellow-cake like presence with strong mineral flavors to boot. The mouthfeel also mimics a champagne mouthfeel with some coating viscosity, awesome carbonation and stronger acids. This is a light beer for the wine lover and way underrated.

Botella. Bit unclear golden. Sweet honey aroma with some orange. Good mouthfeel. Sweet fruity orange honey flavour with a mild pleasant bitterness.

22 oz bottle. Not much on the aromas. Some macro like aromas. Flavor was about the same. Some malty yeast, but not much hopping. Just OK

22 fl oz bottle. Pours slight cloudy yellow with a lacing white head. Mild spiced and light orange fruity to acidic nose. Mild citrusy sweet with a mild fruity accent. Lingering hoppy finish yet mild. Light citrusy finish.

Pours lemon honey body with substantial white head. Aromas are subdued, hinting honey and bready notes. Palate has more of the same, good balance with super clean finish.

A strange fruity tang drives this beer but it works really well. Old worldy malts kick in late. Bubbly dry finish along with a faint sweet malt kick. Very unremarkable but as with all Rogue beers well made with a certain level of appeal. Definately good for the genre.

Poured from bottle a clear blonde with large white head and good carbonation. Aroma is hay, malt and lightly toasted grain. Flavor is bisquit, hay, toasted bread and grain with a gentle sweetness that ends dry and mildly bitter. I enjoyed this one even though I had it after a super hoppy IPA or maybe because of that. Anyhow, decent flavors, a nice not too heavy body and smooth finish.
