VerticalBaconStrips (1897) - Assat, Alberta, - JUN 2, 2009
Cloudy, mucky yellowish orange brew that produced a huge white tit above my glass. Leaves lots of messy lacing. The aroma is of tons of citrus, grapefruit, lemon, pine, ok malts. the aroma is pretty interesting but I’m not sure if this is in a good way. Pretty floral as well. But there is an odd smell that I’m thinking just smells like tropical fruit that has been sliced up and has sat in the open for longer than it should. Something else almost gamey. The taste is ok at best - there is nothing wrong but there is nothing that would place this above any of the random IPA’s available - stiff grapefruit that leaves my mouth amazingly dry, sweet lemon, weak caramel - however there is a very real malt backbone to this brew - one that just dulls the hop attack enough to make this chuggable. Light medium bodied or less, forgettable mouth feel - very unspectacular. Finishes with lots of grapefruit bitterness and then just vanishes from your mind. More sediment than I would want from this style if I want to be a cosmetic bitch about it. A very uninteresting IPA albeit totally drinkable. But if you like a good bitter after taste this gets that done for you. I’ll end up with an overpriced mini keg this summer, I just know it. It’s just so plain - yea, I’ve had alot of West coast IPA’s and I like them all, including this one but why would I spend money on this? This would be one of my last IPA choices. A Rogue failure in my eyes mainly because it is so damn boring. Just buy anything else.

Bomber into pint glass. Pours a hazy golden colour with a light, lasting head and light carbonation. Citrus aroma. Heavy hop flavour up front with a hint of lemon. Pretty bitter on the back end.

IPA maravilhosa, aroma, corpo, sabor, aparência, carbonatação, lupulagem caprichadíssima, intensa, uma aula de amargor intenso e incrivelmente equilibrado. Lúpulosmaníacos não podem deixar de conhecê-la !!

Yellow Snow IPA is all citrus and hops. Rogue cut right to the chase. No intermediary flavor or aroma. Pours a damp yellow color with white cap. Smells citrusy. Flavor is lemon and orange rind (slightly burnt) with hoppy finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

CaraCurtis (98) - USA - MAY 13, 2013
The aroma is a bit light, but refreshing. It has a beautiful color, a burnt orange, minimal head (maybe this one was sitting on the shelf longer) and slight lacing. A nice mouth fill, some bitterness and fruitiness and is medium bodied. It lingers quite a bit on the mid-back of the palate. It has a nice clean finish.

Pours a beautiful reddish orange color with a magnificent head. Nose is citrus and pine and full of hops. Taste is bitter from beginning to end, with no sweetness at all. Finish lingers with bitterness. Simply hops ! Quaff Score 7 / 10

zgaier (695) - Coral Springs, Florida, USA - MAY 12, 2013
Pours a dark orange with a nice off white head and aroma of citrus and hops. Taste is bitter up front, lots of hops, citrus, and floral notes leading to a long, very bitter finish. Nice IPA

i couldn’t imagine how an IPA could look any better than this. Bright gold. dense off white foam. the rest of it for me is pretty standard- standard excellent IPA.

SlackerMads (528) - DENMARK - MAY 10, 2013
Bottle. Hazy copper with a medium sized somewhat diminishing ok lacing off white head. Soap and cat piss in the aroma, can’t detect the snow in here. Fruity hop notes, light grain and biscuit too. Taste is light/medium sweet and medium bitter with long lasting bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation.

deaconmike (60) - Roswell, USA - MAY 9, 2013
Poured from a bottle. Beautiful golden orange color with a mountainous foamy head. Head disapates, but sticky lacing lasts. Very fragrant aroma - floral and citrus hops. The hops win out over malt in the taste - bitter grapefruit is predominant. Long, relatively dry bitter finish. Active carbonation and moderate mouthfeel. Crisp with a little bite to it. Once again, Rogue does not disappoint.
