| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 19, 2004 Pours a light amber with a thick off-white head. Mild hop nose, with faint malt undertones. Thin mouthfeel. Mild sweet and fruity taste. Dry finish with a long and lingering aftertaste. A good bitter, still rather weak on flavor. But for a bitter it was very good.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 18, 2004 Hopy aroma but beyond that you shall find sweet malty notes . Dull amber look with presentable lace . Medium bodies, quiet bitter as it should be. Fun to drink, very refreshing ale. Simple made but that just works fine with me. joeycapps (1466), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 16, 2004 Clear amber. Beige head w/ inconsistent beading. Aroma of caramel, citrus, & minty hops. Medium, lightly resiny feel. Strong, moderately sweet malt character gives way to an dry, earthy, bitter finish w/ some lingering fruity traces of grapefruit. jerc (3885), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 16, 2004 Pours a dark amber body with a thin light brown head. Aromas are fairly robust with a combination of candy hoppiness and some malt. Taste is bitter hops, mingled with some breadiness. Nice mouthfeel with a great bitter aftertaste. Rogue continues to suprise me. ElGaucho (1730), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 14, 2004 Rich, sweet, hoppy nectar aroma. Beautiful deep orange/amber, with a murky body and lots of carbonation. Slightly off-white head that is reasonably lasting and wonderful lace. Nice and hoppy initial mouthfeel. Wonderful, doughy finish. Perhaps not sweet enough to be truly fine. Wonderful mouth feel, and a nice, long, pine-hop finish that is not harshly hoppy. For a brewer that makes such great painted label bottles, their paper label on this one is quite attractive. I could polish off a few of these in a sitting. Perhaps a little too hoppy to be a session brew, but it comes about as close as you could expect for a beer with this many IBUs. ruffian (149), montvale, New Jersey, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 13, 2004 Golden Amber color, lasting head. Long lingering bitterness, but not overly bitter. Medium-light mouthfeel. jde123 (715), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 9, 2004 Pours a foggy bronze with a thin but lasting head. Smells like a bitter, very nicely done hops and honey. Taste is certainly bitter but not overly so. Feels a little weak though, doesn’t possess that full robustness of other bitters. Overall a great bitter.
