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

A careml/orange beer with a short off white head and an aroma of foral and citrus. Pretty light, good for late night summer drinking. Tastes of hops, and honey with a bitter metallic finish.

650 ml bottle. Hazy orange amber colour with a mostly diminishing frothy off-white head. Caramel, bready, grapefruit, and lightly floral aroma. Toasty and carmel flavours with a grapefruit and light piny bitter finish. Light bodied but refreshing.

Bottled. A reddy brown coloured beer with a wispish white head. The aroma is fruity with blackberries noted. It is also nicely hoppy and there are perfume notes. The taste is hoppy and fruity with some strawberry. A very nice tasty beer

Bottled. Vibrant dark brown beer with a strong head. The aroma is sweet, very fruity and quite dry, the flavour is very hopped and dry with a very long finish. Overall a good deeply dry beer.

Great nose on this mild offer from Rogue. Yeasty apple cider look. Nose of butterscotch and roses. Very nutty and flowery taste with excellent finish. Not really that heavily hopped. This was right up my ally and I wish I had a sixer. I absolutely loved this offering. I normally do not like beer with a sour tinge , but this beer is the exception with its citrus hints.The ultimate late summer night BBQ brew. 12/20/05 rerate.....bought an old six pack from my local shitty party store....a real old six pack....this is unfair, but the old beer is going to force me to lower the score.... will need to find fresh again and rerate...
