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.

Cloudy dark amber with a thick off-white head. Some fruitiness to the aroma. Flavor had some bitterness but it was delicious.

Bubbles flowing to the top. Reddish amber pour with a slim head. Hoppy nose, some bitterness in the nose as well. Hoppy taste, with a moderate bitter aftertaste making your mouth a little dry. Maybe some dry hops are in this brew! Pretty decent from Rogue. I'm generally never disappointed from one of their brews.

Orange-red with a fruity nose. Solid grapefruit-hopped flavor, highly bittered and malty. Very hoppy!

Pours reddish amber with a light head and some lacing. Nice hoppy aroma balanced well with the malts. Floral and earthy hop flavors followed again by a mellow blend of malts. Smooth and creamy palate, a nice bitter finish. Good beer.

Nice malty back drop gives way to a shot of hops. Some nice finishing hops in there. Tasty

Not very special, not very bitter. I was not impressed with the 'hop finish,' as it did not exist.
