Oct 31, 2008 Bottle at Beer Palace, Oslo.
Cloudy amber, strong hoppy aroma.
Well balanced - full malty body, flowery and crisp hops. Dry summer meadow finish. Brutal? Hardly, but a fine beer.

Oct 27, 2008 Pours golden brown with a nice off white head. Aroma is malty, and slightly citrusy. Taste is malty, and has a nice citrusy flavor and finish. Not too brutal, I would say that would be a better name for some IPA’s but still a good hoppy ESB.

Oct 19, 2008 16 oz draft poured medium copper color with an off white head. Grassy ho aroma. Nice medium bitterness. Very good bitter. I had it under the name Rogue Anniversary. So I had no preconceived notions and was happily surprised.

Oct 18, 2008 Bottle, bought @ Vinens Verden, Odense.
Pours a great amber with a slight haze. Fine, creamy, white head. Good duration. Aroma is hoppy, lots of pine and grapefruit. Some good, clean maltiness as well. Medium carbonation, fine creaminess. Flavour has a very nice malt base, some sharpish hops. Relatively bitter, some caramel and a good, lasting flavour of pine and fruity hops. Nice.

Oct 17, 2008 draft at Taco Mac. dark amber color... little head upon arrival to the table. not a whole lot of aroma, but some pleasant malts and a bit of hops to it. on the palate, this one lives up to its name - it is bitter.... not overpoweringly so, but a nice presence of fresh hops and balanced with English malts. very drinkable and quite thirst quenching after a day of work.
