Mar 7, 2008 650ml bottle
6.00% ABV
I tried this beer on March 6, 2008 after purchasing from my local LCBO outlet. The beer poured a hazy coppery-red colour with a large generous fluffy off-white head. The aroma was extremely hoppy. A lot of floral perfumey hints such as pine, and grapefruit. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, fairly carbonated, and bitter. The flavour was divine. Almost like my morning grapefruit in beer form. My first Rogue beer, and it didn’t disappoint.

Mar 4, 2008 Light caramel sweetness in the aroma. Flavor starts dirty, but finish clean and moderately bitter & dry. The finish is fairly lengthy as well, which is nice. Solid beer.

Finish feels slightly metallic.<P>The body is medium, the texture is watery and the carbonation is average.<P>I’ll pass.

Mar 1, 2008 Pours dark gold/amber with a frothy consistent head. Aroma of sweet malts and hops. Smells like a pale ale. Taste is true to a bitter. Nice malt start with a bitter hop finish. Well balanced beer.

Feb 26, 2008 Hazy dark amber pour and generous bubbly head. Mellow fruity/floral hops made me think this would be sweet, but true to its name it was nice and bitter. The flavors weren’t super complex... soapy at times, but I like it overall. Very floral/bitter--not much pine. Maybe some grapefruit rind on the tongue? Thin on the palate. Good if yer lookin for bitter...

Feb 18, 2008 Had a vast complexion of hops in this one. I could taste the hops burried deep in the beer and also a bit resting on top of the beer that weren’t quite all the way isomerized. Good ale for sure and I’d probably buy again.
