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.

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.

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.

Bottled as Cliff Hanger. Dark amber with a nice beige head. Sweet hoppiness with caramel and a hint of fruit. Finish is highly assertive.

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.

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.

Golden Amber color, lasting head. Long lingering bitterness, but not overly bitter. Medium-light mouthfeel.

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.
