22 oz bottle. Clear chestnut color with a disappearing off white head that laced the glass. Attractive aroma of piney hops, malty caramel, and a hint of pineapple upside down cake. Caramel in the flavor again with gentle hop bitterness. Predominantly dry with a touch of sweetness at the end balanced by the bitter hop finish. Medium bodied with an almost creamy mouth feel.

Poured a solid copper from the bomber with little. Had a unique aroma, a hit of flowers, but also a hint of something else, like mustard maybe. Flavor was really smooth, enjoyably smooth and malty. Finish was only slighty bitter. This beer was very drinkable, but lacked a little bang for the buck.

Bottle: Another great brew from Rogue. Clear copper color with an off-white head. The aroma is spicy and seems well balanced in the malt and hop categories. The taste is largely malty and buttery with a real smooth flavor. The aftertaste is slightly soapy followed by some bitterness. Very good.

Redish copper color with no head or lacing. Aroma is acidic and hoppy with a malty background. Flavor is very well balanced with nice floral hops. Fruity & chocolaty. Sweet, dry and bitter on the palate. A very yummy bitter. I usually shy away from these, but leave it to Rogue to impress me

12 oz bottles -tried one, returned bought six. I thought this beer was very nice, enjoyed on a nightly basis for just less than a week. Murky amber color - cideresque. Malty, sweet fruits, caramel flavor - a bit of pine. A warm beer. If you are rating as an ESB, then this doesn’t stack up to Brutal Bitter, but I’m not 100% convinced that this is an ESB - see what you think.

In the bomber bottle. Dark amber with a yellow-off-white head. Strong hop piney aroma. Citrus and strong bitterness to the flavor with a mild caramel taste. Not too sweet in comparison to the harsh hoppings. Palate fairly rough. Can’t say that this is one of my favorite Rogue beers.
