On tap at Newport pub location. Pours yellow with very little head. Mild aroma of some sugars, citrus, florals, funk and alcohol. Tastes of floral hops, finishes bitter and earthy with a tinge of alcohol.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a medium white head. Aroma has hops, straw, spice, floral notes. Flavor is hops, spice, pineapple, malt, grass, bread, and citrus. Bitter, spicy, fruity, medium-bodied, and a mild bitter finish. I never expected something this good with ’Pils’ on the bottle. Excellent for the style and I’ll now be seeking out some other best-in-class of this type.

Interesting beer. Notes of pineapple on first taste which dissipate. Grapefruit in the middle and back end along with some non-descript spice. Maltier than expected but quite good. Perhaps not up to par with what you would expect from Rogue but still a quality brew that I would drink again.

Aroma is a nice little dash of hops, some zesty spice, and a floral notes. The appearance is a very slight cloudiness and a thin white collar. The flavor is a very definite oily hop, zest of grapefruit, with very nice malt bodies to compliment the assertiveness. Complete from initial taste to ending, the first feel is the sensations of the flavors and the ending provides all the adjectives that can describe it’s intriguing zests, spices, and bites. Very good, especially with pork kakuni.

It pours a rather typical clear straw-yellow, but gets a point for having a rather thick, fluffy white head. Aroma is strong and malty with a firm fruity overtone, mainly apple and lemon. Flavor is a bit bland and has an unpleasing metallic taste to it, but is still palatable. Texture is edgy and just a little tingly, nothing to write home about. This is the only Rogue beer I have ever tried that disappointed, but I will finish this bottle.
