| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 8, 2004 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. biermonk (259), San Francisco, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 6, 2004 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. YourDarkLord (1800), Urbana, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 5, 2004 Cloudy dark amber with a thick off-white head. Some fruitiness to the aroma. Flavor had some bitterness but it was delicious. haddon90 (1035), Alexandria, Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 1, 2004 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. Braudog (3752), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 1, 2004 Orange-red with a fruity nose. Solid grapefruit-hopped flavor, highly bittered and malty. Very hoppy! Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 27, 2003 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.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Dec 11, 2003 Nice malty back drop gives way to a shot of hops. Some nice finishing hops in there. Tasty michael-pollack (2650), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Dec 8, 2003 Not very special, not very bitter. I was not impressed with the 'hop finish,' as it did not exist.
