does not count  Jan 31, 2008 Poured a beautiful orange. Very cloudy. Small head with very fine lacing. Taste wasn’t as "Brutal" or "Bitter" as I expected, but surprisingly tasty. I finished the glass before I even realized it. I highly recommend this ale and will be purchasing it again sooner than later.

Jan 31, 2008 Pours with a glowing orange color and a beige head atop. Very pleasant nose with an apricot fruitiness and sweet juicy hoppiness about it. Taste is mild apricot and fruity, and more hoppy than expected for the style, but very welcomed as it makes this a fantastic ESB. Very drinkable and suprisingly good despite a quick finish. Easily one of Rogues best beers in my opinion.

Jan 30, 2008 Poured a haze with small head. I remember this one, I was expecting it to be more brutal and bitter than it actually was. Let me down, overall still decent

Jan 29, 2008 Updated: Jun 23, 2008Bottle. At Bishop´s Arms, Avenyn, Gothenburg. Cloudy, hazy orange color with an off-white head. Aroma: Very hoppy and sweet. Notes of exotic fruits, apricot, grape and pine. Flavor: Sweet and fruity at first, then hoppy and dry. Notes of exotic fruits, apricot, citrus, pine, caramel and soap. Chewy and dry mouthfeel. A bit unbalanced, but a must try if you like hops.

Jan 27, 2008 Sweet fruity aroma, copper/amber in color, not much head. Gorgeous taste! Great balance, lively citrus flavor (almost grapefruit-like) with a little bit of caramel. Nice bitter hoppy finish. nothing brutal about it. I can’t think of a better ESB I’ve had.

Jan 25, 2008 Really nice. I was surprised. Nice citrus hoppy flavor and mega floral aroma. Low alcohol and perfect drinkability. Very good. Can’t wait to have another!

Jan 23, 2008 12 oz bottle pours a hazy orange. Aroma is grassy hops. Flavor of a little malt and lots of bitter hops. Nothing overwhelming just a nice balance.
