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

Bomber. Poured copper in color with an off-white head that leaves big lacing. The aroma found a floral and malt mix. Sweet malts up front in the flavor that that changes and leaves a slightly bitter aftertaste. Medium body.

Amber color with smallish head. Aroma is hop dominant, with some nice malt presence mixed in. Taste is a nice mix of hops that pushes the limit of the ESB style. A bit more bitter, but this is still a nice flavor to experience. I’m always up for another special edition Rogue brew.
