Orange/copper with a fluffy off-white head leaving lots of lacing on the glass. Orange, lemon and malt flavours with a nice clean finish. Flavours could be a bit stronger, but still a good product.

Amber with thin off-white head. Flowery hop aroma with some slight bready yeast notes. Taste is cookie with resinous hops. Not enough maltiness to balance the bitter. Not exceptional or special, but good nonetheless.

Bottled. Warm brown body, thin head, steady carbonation. Great bready nose, hopped softly with floral notes, good malty backwash. Hope Sainsburys start selling this off cheap so I can buy up a crateload!

Amber in colour with medium carbonation. Loads of great aromas with this one: beginning with citrus and bready malts, then evolving into black licorice and flowers. The flavors aren’t quite as complex, but strike a good balance between malt and bitterness. An average Rogue beer, which is still pretty good in my books.

Slightly cloudy amber color with a thin head. Just the right amount of hop flavor and a great aftertaste. A nice beer.

Was expecting a bitter beer face with this one. I was wrong. Aroma had a sweet citrus to it. Body was darker shade of orange. Tan decent head. Decent hop flavor and was quite refreshing on the palate seeing it’s 110 today. Good Beer.

650 ml bottle. Recommended to me by a friend so I was expecting it to be better than it was. Russet in colour, slightly cloudy, good goldings nose, slightly biscuity with the yeast. Good acidic citric finish and even slightly metallic. Fine but no great shakes
