Bottle. Pour was amber, tah head. Nose had citrus and grapefruit hops. Taste also had malt backbone. Balanced body, smooth, good brew.

Lovely amber with scant tan head. Nice hops aroma with a hint of malt. Clean hops taste front and center, but enough malt to back it up. Not overly bitter. Excellent bitter.

Tap @ Rogue Public House, PDX... Poured clear amber with a nice head. Sweet caramel flavors that mesh with crystal malt and a mild bite of hops. Went down easily but enough complexity to make you appreciate it. Not as good as their Brutal Bitter though.

Sampled at Brew Ha Ha 2004. Red-orange in color with a big white head. Thick lacing. Buttered biscuits, cookie malts, and a slight whiff of grapefruity hops in the aroma creates a fantastic balance. Light bitterness in the flavor seems nearly sweet at times. Would like to try this aged to see how it changes.

Light amber color, small head, very bubbly. Nice hop aroma and flavor. This is like a mild version of Stone IPA or Bell’s Two hearted ale

Medium amber body with a small white head. It smells very good - a hint of sweetness that compliments the hoppiness. Hoppy flavor, but not as much as I tend to like in my bitters. But this one IS dry and bitter nonetheless.

POurs an amber color with a small white head. Aroma was of plain malts and some caramel. Flavor was really plain, like most bitters, nothing to write home about at all.

Pours cloudy amber with a really nice well retained off white colored head. Aroma is hoppy a bit floral and spicy. Flavor is mildy biscuity on the front then a bit of spicy hops kick in the finish. Another Rogue winner.
