| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 19, 2004 Hoppy nose of pine, pacman yeast too, a little spicy, silky dull palate, flavor a little bland at the end. BückDich (4853), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 15, 2004 Very pale golden color with a small foamy head, very light and fizzy with a bit of islandic lacing. The aroma is toasty with biscuits and a fresh light hop note, very clean and floral, the oposite of purfumey. The flavor has a moderate bit of hops and some tangy malts. There isn’t too much malt body, very dry. Lots of sediment in the bottom that was carefully not poured in. The finish is dry and hoppy with a more herbal hop note. Good APA, you’re the man Brian!

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 17, 2005 2004 bottle big thanks to Jeff for the trade (radiomgb). A year old when I opened this baby. Bright orange-golden colored beer, brilliantly colored APA with a fine white head that is both lasting and moderately thick. Plenty of lacing. Aroma of hops, light alcohol and a bit of dry yeast. Seems like there is some dry herbal spice in there, like white pepper or cumin or something. Must be the hops or yeast. Flavor is just a straight up, solid rendition of an American Pale Ale. Beautifully hoppy, moderate to high bitterness, with a dry caramel and toasted grains backbone. Bubbly, frothy mouthfeel does not water down on the finish. Perfume like aroma given off when swirled. Light alcohol notes, more citrus and dry floral hops on the finish. The malted wheat is not terribly discernable. Typical Rogue yeast apparency. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 29, 2004 Clear golden color with average sized head (nothing special there). Light grapefruit and more malty aroma. Taste is mildly hoppy and more malty without being too sweet. Nicely balanced and bready taste. Medium bodied. Not the best of the anniversary series but damn good. beerinmarch (2822), Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 18, 2004 Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Aroma was well hopped with some citrus varieties. Taste was very hoppy but the bitterness balanced well with some background malts. Good brew, but not the top of my list on the 15th series.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 25, 2004 Light golden. Effervescent carb. Light, but velvety-smooth malts. Unfortunately, they were only mildly flavorful. Hops were on the light side as well -- herbal and slightly spicy. Dry finish. Two things made me curious: (1.) This beer was pretty mild for Rogue, not to mention a 15th anniv. beer, and (2.) What’s the point in lowering a 4x4 truck? It’s like putting a lift kit on a Yugo. Oh, and it’s pink! I thought "4x4" was a cool name until I saw the label.
