Amber with a small head. Nice floral hoppy aroma with caramel notes. Balanced hoppy ale with sufficient malt palate. Good clean caramel flavors with floral hop notes. Nice and easy drinking, and one of Rogue’s better balanced ales.

Definitely Rogue, but a little lighter than other offerings. Also, hop/malt flavor seemed unique, even for Rogue. Nice bitters, good feel & finish.

I’m with the crowd on this one. A very solid bitter.

Bold yet refined, featuring a hoppy, fruit aroma, lots of floating yeast, and a cloudy, red-brown body. Primary flavors are hops with some apple crispness. Bitter finish witha head that lasts throughout. Quite good.

There was a massive amount floating yeast in this brew. Reddish brown with a persistant head. Slightly fruity with pervading hops. Very smooth and very tasty.

Amber color with just a touch of chill haze. Aroma of canned peaches (not in a bad way). Fairly heavy bodied. Very little malt sweetness. Very dry thoughout. Sharp bitter finish. Very late finish of caramel malt. I most likely drank this a bit to cold and should have let it warm up to catch all the flavors. But it was good and the first one always goes down quickly.

Was feeling like adding a sixer of this style to my session stash, found this at Bevmo and hoped it would be a pleasant surprise. Took me three times to warm up to this brew; the first two bottles (different sessions) it wasn't bad but 3rd times a charm. Huge head, medium bodied with a strong malt character that is actually quite distinctive and enjoyable.
