May 10, 2009 Draft at Fredfest 09 at Hair of the Dog. Pours a murky brown with a dense, creamy, short-lived tan head. Nice big dark toast malt nose with plenty of herbal, peppery hop supporting it. The body stands up big and creamy, plenty of dark roast, toast, nuts, and bitterness. The hops show resiny, herbal, and peppery on the finish. Everything about this beer is calibrated to a darker, coarser, more intense side--the malt, the yeast, hops. Lovey stuff, and clearly a precedent setter for beers down the line such as Arrogant Bastard. Not even close to the same beer, but mining some similar veins.

May 8, 2009 Draft. Pours an amber body with a white head. Very strong pine and hop resins, a little bit spicy with all the chop character. Still a bit boozy with some lighter caramel malts.

Sep 16, 2008 <b>In short: </b>Lots of fruity juicy caramel and good hops bite. A highly drinkable big american beer
<b>How: </b>Tap at Firewaters, Atlantic City. Yes I was at Firewaters. Don’t laugh.
<b>The look: </b>Clear copper body topped by a long lasting medium beige head leaving good lacing
<b>In long: </b>A whole lots of caramelized malts in this one. Despite its big body the beer didn’t feel heavy or sweet thanks to the citrus and pineapples flavours that made it feel juicy and even added a light tartness. Light earthy notes, a little oily. Fruity and grassy hops with a medium bitterness. No alcohol presence at all. That should be part of Rogue’s regular lineup. Very good beer. Plus we get to learn when John the head brewer made his first batch of beer. A number a women head brewer would have never put in a beer name, cause this is admitting being over forty.

Jul 31, 2008 I guess I am sucker for overly hopped American ales, nicely slammed with PNW American hops. This was an almost clear copper beer with a great white head and moderate lacing. The nose was of sweet malts and hops. The taste was of sweet malts, hops, alcohol, pine tar resin, orange peel, and more hops, with still more hops in the finish. Hard to believe that it is only 75 IBUs.

Jun 18, 2008 Copper color with a bubbly head. Aromas of sweet candy like malts and a good amount of citrus and earthy, peppery hops. Rather sweet up front, almost like candy, bordering cloying, but not. A big floral, citrus, and peppery finish leaves a dry mouth feel. Medium bodied. Nice and enjoyable.

May 10, 2008 Draft at Firewaters. Poured a clear orangey amber with a small of white head. Hop forward aroma with some nice caramel malt balancing it out. Flavor of grapefruit, alcohol and caramel. Not bad especially considering it’s been a long time since Rogue made a beer I actually enjoyed.
