Mar 4, 2009 Bottle 35,5 cl. Pours a hazy, orangy golden with a small frotty yellowish white head and an aroma of oranges, lemonade, fresh hops and wet malt. The taste is a bit sweet and malty at first but then a massive hoppy bitterness comes in. The bitterness doesn’t last that long, so I would call the finish medium. Nice brew, but I wouldn’t call this "brutal bitter", when I compare it to an IPA.

Mar 2, 2009 Pours a hazy, honey/orange with a small white head. Great sweet hop aroma with scents of honey, orange and other sweet citrus. The flavor is very fruity upfront with some light honey. The finish is bitter but very smooth with a great flowery hop flavor. Very well balanced beer with a lot of flavorful character and a great, smooth creamy mouthfeel.

Feb 28, 2009 Kind of strange, not really a bitter at all, closer to an ipa methinks. Hoppy malty aroma and slightly bitter finish. Didn’t go crazy over this but vaguely liked it. Didn’t stand a chance against victory hopdevil and pliny but that is understandable.

Feb 28, 2009 Pours a golden yellow with a big white pillowy head. Taste just seems to be lacking something. Not much there. Nothing unpleasant about it, but leaves something to be desired. Easy drinking and a bit of a bitter finish, but not "wowing".

Feb 28, 2009 Bottle, not too cold. Golden amber with white fluffy head that laces up the sides nicely. Wet hoppy aroma turns to fragrant medicinal foresty scent. Flavor piney, a bit muted. Actually very muted, malty. It’s fine but not my favorite Rogue. Bitter on the tongue after a while.

Feb 25, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours copper with a long lasting creamy light tan head. Smells citrusy, sweet, and piney. Tastes piney, grassy, sweet, very citrusy, and slightly bready. Very long and strong bitter aftertaste. Lots of honey sweet malts balance this beer pretty well.
