3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hearty taste that stays with you.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A good beer but not great. I love bitterness but there needs to be something behind it. Saranac Pale is the same way. A good amount of a piney, corriander and cinnamon taste.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very hoppy brew, with pine and flowers in the nose. Very nice head that stuck around. Decent body.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Gorgeous semi-hazy copper with some red thrown in. Fat light tan head that leaves a healthy pattern of lace. Moderate carbonation throughout. Hoppy aroma of spruce/pine with a light aroma of toasted nuts. Biting unbalanced hop flavor upfront with loads of Pac NW hop flavor. Medium to thick body which thankfully mellows and tries to balance itself out once warmer. Light fruitiness (cherry juice?). Very much a Rogue brew.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Burgundy with a rich creamy head. Floral hop aroma. Dry and medium boidied, spicy flavour, and a big, long lingering bitterness. They sure haven’t saved any money on hops in this beer....
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Not my favorite brand (they should have a hop shoot-out with S-N), but I’ll pick up some more now that it’s 1/2 price.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
roasted malt, deep red in color. not exactly the sort of spicy taste i’d want for christmas but good none the less
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
I enjoyed the aroma, color and hop flavor.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Another Great Beer from Rogue.
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Well, maybe I got a bad bottle, but I was a bit disappointed. As a hop head the hops was quite welcome. The spice was nice but underdeveloped. On the whole it just did not coalesce for me. All the eliments are there, perhaps I should lay one down for next year.
