Bomber labeled as Cliff Hanger, and thanks to BeerCellar2 for the hookup. A beer that lives up to it’s billing. It is what it says it is. My first Rogue brew, and I’m impressed.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a golden brown with a medium tan head. There is a flowery, hoppy aroma. The flavor is strongly bitter, hoppy and a little fruity on the aftertaste.

Bottle, no expiration date. Pours dark amber with huge head. Slight chill haze. Aroma is surprisingly light with hops predominating. Taste is a symphony of malt, toffee and non-cascade hops. This is really a great Brit style session bitter. Not so bitter your taste buds are toast after a couple of pints and interesting enough to drink a lot of. I’d love to get this locally on tap but then again its so tasty I'd need to get a designated driver.

appearance has a great amber color with a nice white head that drops fast. Aroma has a great hop smell with some malt to go with it. Taste is initially sweet than the hops kick in and bitter it down. Rogue makes some amazing beers.

A very serviceable and competent ESB reminiscent of an IPA. Pours a clear copper color with a thin off-white head. Aroma of crackers and wet hay. Flavor nicely balances piney and grassy hops with toasty, crackery malt. A hint of lemon is also present. Nice, tight carbonation enhances mouthfeel. Good beer.

This beer looks beautiful. It has hints of pine in the nose. This is a beer that I would rather look at than drink. It is simply too bitter for me. But if you like bitter beer you will love this bitter beer.
