Nice hoppy aroma, a bit sweet and some aromatic that reminded me of coffee. Small head with little lacing on top of apple cider colored beer. Medium carb and medium watery body. Bit of cider taste but not very sweet. Nice bittering - crisp. Like a dry pils. A little weak and watery though.

Was expecting a bitter beer face with this one. I was wrong. Aroma had a sweet citrus to it. Body was darker shade of orange. Tan decent head. Decent hop flavor and was quite refreshing on the palate seeing it’s 110 today. Good Beer.

Very hoppy/IPA type smell. Not particularly bitter but with a nice blend of hops. Unfortunately it has almost a honey flavoring to it, which, in my opinion is the worst thing you can add to a beer unless you’re attempting to make mead. Otherwise, very nice.

Beautiful orange-amber colour with a slight haziness. Sweet malty nose with some floral and citrus notes in the background. Flavour starts sweet and full, and then moves into a very pleasant, grapefuity hop bitterness. Really solid.

Check this rating: I hate Rogue even more now: I found out almost five months later that this wasnt even a new beer for me. Rogue is trash. Clear amber coloured body with ruby highlights. Aroma of caster sugar, light hops, cardboard and not much nice. Light-bodied; Funky sweet, nutty flavour that isn't pleasant. Aftertaste bitter, but not impressive. Overall, not great...and from this fact alone-we know it's a Rogue beer! I sampled this 65 cL bottle on 15-May-2004 at the May RB Party in Toronto, Ontario. Cloudy brown in colour, great strong smell with hints of anise...great flavourful beer! A little of a hoppy ending as well!

Amber with a short white head that dissipates surprisingly quick. Aroma is of yeast and light hops. Flavor is earthy and sweet to start with and finishes somewhat bitter yet with a good sweet aftertaste. A good bitter. I haven’t had a bad brew from Rogue yet. Tasty and a good session beer.

Wonderfully balanced beer. Dark Copper color, a tad bit on the cloudy side. This beer is an awesome session beer. I so wish I could get this on a regular basis. The hops are in this beer, both flavor & bittering, and they are perfectly balanced by the malt.
