Nice. Hazy copper in color with a small white head. Lacing present. Aroma is almost whisky-like, sweet and malty. Silky smooth on the palate. Strong yet pleasant hoppy taste, consistent with the better Rogue brews. Overall, very nice.

Bright, rubyish color, with a faint white head, that slips into a narrow ring. Aroma, sweet, fruity, malty, big cherries, tangerines. Taste: great hoppiness right off, dancing along the tongue, though never too bitter, just enough. Quite malty, smooth, with fruity flavor persistent throughout the drink. Nice, sweet finish, medium body, overall excellently balance. I'm not normally crazy about bitters, but Rogue made one that's nothing but pleasure. I could drink a million of these!

Otherwise known as cliffhanger ale, bottled for summits wayside tavern. Check it out if you're around Atlanta. Nose is of of sweet malts, light hops, and a faint floral aroma. Taste is nicely balanced, with a mellow malt presence up front, fading into a hop finish, with a crisp, slightly bitter aftertaste. Clean, refreshing, and very nice. Another well above average offering from Rogue..

Nice Rogue malt aroma(w/yeast)Orange color w/a decent head that rolls out quick/sparce lace.I liked the taste of this ale alot(decent hops)but hardly any bitterness really.A prickle on the palate at best(w/a somewhat dry finish) but overall very enjoyable.

Nice reddish copper color, with a thick creamy head. Not a pronounced bitterness, but a smooth, almost chocolate body, with a light floral aroma. A nice bitter.

Deep amber with a rich off white head that was fairly well lasting. Aroma was heavy with hops as was the flavor. Very dry to finish. Could've been better balanced but overall a fine beer.
