Oct 29, 2007 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Hazy yellow-gold with lasting flat head. Mild hoppy aroma with citrus and yeast. Well-balanced flavor with nice honeyish malt character and equal balanced bitterness. Medium-full body and medium carbonation. Not nearly as brutal or as bitter as I remember. In fact, pretty damn tasty.

Oct 27, 2007 22 oz bottle. Pours copper with a big airy head. Aroma does remind me of a german pilsner, must be the German hops. Fruity flavor with some maltiness. Medium mouthfeel, dry finish. and a lasting bitter and caramel finish. Not my favorite style of beer, but this was pretty good.

Oct 24, 2007 Bottle from TJ’s. Trying to get around to rating some of the beers I started my career with. Muddy, orangish tan with thin white lace. Aroma is slighty hoppy with a nice malt character. Flavor is dead-on for the best esb’s I’ve had. Slightly hoppy with a nice bitter finish amidst and slightly thick body. Alcohol well hidden, and a nice bitter, hoppy finish. Hops aren’t overdone so much to make this an ipa like some esb’s are. Rogue’s best non-stout in my opinion.

Oct 24, 2007 liquorloft tallahassee. my taste was waaaay off base by the time i got to this thanks to an imperial porter but what i recall was what is typical of the style. light citrus hops and malt in the aroma. taste a ditto of the smell, light sweet malt and hops with a simple lingering bitterness. i did like the smooth feel of the beer over my tongue.

Oct 9, 2007 Tastes like drinking a spice rack and eating pine needles immediately thereafter...which is a great thing. After the initial shock, this becomes an unbelievably drinkable beer. An awesome pre-dinner drink.
