Understated, for a Rogue. Actually defined more by what its not. No huge hop flavors, no assertive body. Nice, but drifts toward boring - something a Rogue should never do.

Bottle shared with Ralph, HogTownHarry, blankboy, DougShoemaker & mds - courtesy of HogTownHarry. Clear golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is quite pleasant with fresh hops, grass, and a hint of peach. Quite flavourful, with a good balance of malt and hops. A simple, enjoyable lager.

It’s cool that Rogue brews a Lager… there aren’t too many American Craft Lagers out there these days…. Ales, Ales, Ales…. Although I do prefer ales!
Pours a copper colored body and a fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet with honey and sweet Euro malts. There are fruity hints of pear; plum sitting beside freshly baked honey nut bread; a hint of lemon peel bitterness in the finish. A quite respectable beer but not one that WOW’s me into submission!

Lightly hazed, pale yellow appearance, big, lasting, pure-as-the-driven-snow head... Floral, perfumey nose...light, sweet...lager-y. Tastin’...thickish intrusion on the palate, for a lager...big and chewy, grainy, but crispish and clean. Light body, neat finish, lays around a bit on the palate. Quite a nice lager. Don’t think I’ll spend another $4.99 for a bomber, but that’s just cause it’s not my style. An excellent rendition, though.

Had on tap at Summits Wayside tavern Nice amber color with a thick creamy head. Nice caramel notes in this malty one from Rogue...Good flavor maybe a little thin in the body...Not Rogues best effort

Pretty average lager, nothing all that special to write home about, cloudy appearance with a golden color, thick & bubbly white head, nose of grain, flowery hops & a little bit of yeast, smooth & drinkable, but lacking the flavor department, not a whole lot to speak of, thin & semi-watery, a little bit of hops toward the finish, a touch of malt as well, but a very uninteresting beer

Bottled. Golden colour, small head. Fresh citrusy hop aroma. Sweet and caramelly, medium bodied. Aromatic, yet with solid maltiness. Lightly bready. Medium bitterness.

Nice...a lager with a definitive edge of hoppy grains and the Rogue touch of excellent balance and character. Smooth as can be with very little typical lager unpleasantness. Nice and full for the style as well.
