Pours clear gold to light orange color with thin white head. Aroma of pale malts and sweet orange juice. Nice flavor. There is a sweet citrus (orange maybe) flavor that mixes well with the pale malts and wheat. Refreshing brew.

Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a misty pale orange/yellow color with a tiny amount of alabaster bubbles. Aroma and taste are of sweet malt, nice yeast, and light orange. Well carbonated. Lightly sweet and dry ending.

Bomber: Slightly cloudy yellow orange with a thin white head, flowers and sweet yeast aroma, starts and ends lightly bitter, nice body for the style with nice carbonation, smooth ending with a sharp bite.

Bottle 50F Lager. Sweet aroma, with a very pilsner like smell, light touches of light hay, very little hops smell at all. Nice medium yellow color, with a white head that laces nicely. Good light sweet taste, maybe not as dry as I would like but reminds me a of a good German or Czech pilsner. For a lager the mouthfeel is larger and with good tight carbonation. Pretty nice maybe I should have drank it a touch colder.

For a lager, this is one of my favorites. Refreshing, with a nice sweetness, nice aftertaste, and very clean flavor. This beer seems to be greater than the sum of its parts, though critically not outstanding.

One of the better-known beers from the Rogue family, but not very impressive. It was one of the cheapest on draught, but it didn’t really do it for me.

Leaves a lot to be desired. Tastes like a twist of traditional Yeungling lager but at a higher price. Definite malt medium body that’s easily drinkable. I appreciate the ratings and ingredients on the bottle.

Bomber - Pours a pretty golden amber in color with a foamy white head. Aroma is slightly hoppy and sweet. Flavor is also sweetish and not has hoppy as I expected, based on the aroma. Flavor is not that strong and has the underlying feel of corn adjuncts, like an megabrew. That part is quite disappointing, of course. I would have expected something more from Rogue.
