Apr 18, 2009 Surprised I haven’t tried this yet. Mild blunt hop aroma. Almost looks like a darker hefe. Even has things casually floating inside and they are suspended. The carbonation is fine and rolling, moving around the particulates. Good carbonation on the palate. Taste is bitter alright but less than I espected. Its not overwhelming. Medicinal bitter feeling develops as the session nears the end. Back and roof of mouth bitter finish.

Apr 11, 2009 Cloudy orange red color with a solid white head and excellent lacing. Aroma of oranges and grapefruit. Flavor starts with smooth malt and finishes with citrus hops. Great balance and although slightly bitter it’s not at all overpowering. The name is misleading, this is an excellent beer even for those who shy away from IPAs.

Apr 10, 2009 Nicely hopped, , crisp and bready. very drinkable. It was good. A ltitle on the hoppy side from a bitter, but the hops were very crisp and earthy, and not bitter like an ipa.

Apr 8, 2009 Very nice balance. Aroma is mostly hops with a bit of sweet malt. Flavor starts sweet with a bit of orange tang followed by a big bitter end. Very dry finish. Nicely done.

Apr 6, 2009 Pour is copper in color and leaves no head, but just little white bubbles. Aroma is balanced between grainy malts and floral hops. Very nice. The beer is hoppy and malty all at once, with a slight edge to the caramelly malts. Hops are floral and work very well here. Very balanced. This is a great beer, but considering it is hoppier than even your typical pale ale, it is much more an IPA than it is an ESB. The best offering from Rogue, IMO.

Apr 5, 2009 Flaske: Rigtig behagelig øl. Flot orange øl med et fint lille skumhoved. God duft af humle, og en behagelig bitterhed. Men når den ikke er frisk er den altså bare so-so, og med de trods alt rimelig mange procenter er det ikke en fantastisk sessionbeer. Men ok.

Apr 3, 2009 This beer pours a semi opaque orange brown with a one finger soapy white head that doesn’t last long. Nose is citrus fruit. Flavor is tart citrus hops with a nice bitterness. A bit of effervescence. A nice mix of subtle and bold. A nice bitter although this is not a favored style.
