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.

The aroma contained a low fruity presence with some earthy hop and a light caramel presence. Overall the aroma was light and uninteresting. The appearance was medium amber brown with an off-white lasting head which lasted to lace the glass. The flavor was malty with an earthy bittering presence and a fruity character coupled with a nice mineral water flavor profile. The bittering was well achieved and nicely done with a good hop/malt balance. The body was medium with a moderate carbonation which lead to a creamy mouthfeel. A ncie beer despite lacking in aromatic qualities. Pint at the Flying Saucer, part of JLS.

Bottled. Poured tawny with a tan head. Nose is malty with caramel notes. Flavor is malt and caramel. Finish is mild. Not bad, but not noteworthy either.

On tap @ Brew Kettle: Phew not a rebadge. Copper colored pour with an off white head. Aroma, caramel and other sweet malts, some earthy floral hops. Flavor, sweet up front to start with an herbal & earthy bitterness on the finish. Not usually a fan of ESB’s but this was pretty decent.

Surprised me, poured a nice amber color small head great lacing. Aroma was of caramel citrus hops and something else sweet. Flavor was much the same, nothing overwelmed anything else very well balanced.

Draft. Aroma: First whiff gave me a strong iced tea character. Caramel and some good malt character. Hops come in medium strong with a bunch of pine, resin, and floral notes. Appearance: Dark amber in color and clear. Off white head was full and foamy with good retention. Nice lacing. Flavor: Malt sweetness upfront with some toffee notes. Yeast breadiness. Good hoppiness with some pine, citrus, floral, and light grass. A touch of earthiness into the finish. Medium bitterness lingers a bit, but isn’t unpleasant. Palate: Medium bodied. Moderate carbonation. Overall: Didn’t know if I was going to like this, but ended up really enjoying it. Nice balance of malts to hops. Very drinkable.
