22 oz. bottle - pours hazy amber with slight white head; more bland than I expected; drinks smooth with malty aftertastes and not very bitter

Poured from a bottle (Summit Cliff Hanger Ale) to a reddish orange color with medium thick head that lingered a while and left okay lacing. Had a nice hoppy, somewhat grassy aroma, and the flavor was more of the same. Although it was tasty, it was hardly an ESB. Nice smooth aftertaste, fine for an ale, but again, disappointing for an ESB. Not a bad beer though, and few from Rogue are.

22 oz bomber purchased in Pittsburgh, PA. Bottle says Fat Heads on it. Pours an orange amber color with a tiny white head. Aroma is of bitter floral hops with a touch of honey. Taste is bitter hoppy with hints of floral hops, honey tea ,caramel and sweet malt. Nothing special here. Good but not great.

Bottle. Hazy red amber, creamy golden head. Toasted malt, fruity (apricot), herbal and grassy hops. Medium to light body, mellow mouthfeel.

Had this as a 22oz bottle Summit Hanger Ale. Poured carmel in color with an off white head. Not as bitter or hoppy as one would think being a Rogue beer, but was malty and smooth. Had fruity citrus taste that stayed with you until the next sip. Nicely drinkable.

boTTle ...Amber color with a rather large white head. Light hop aroma with hints of malt and citrus. Mildly hoppy flavor with a nice malt balance. Kind of reserved for a Rogue. Very easy drinking good
