Apr 5, 2008 (draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Orange in color with a mound of puffy white foam. Aroma is rich and hoppy with some citrus at the end of it. Flavor is very bitter and hoppy with a light malt backbone and a little bit of grapefruit at the end. Finishes very smooth and bitter. Quite nice.

Mar 23, 2008 Cask, served perhaps a day or two after preferred date. Cloudy orange/amber with very little head. Big hop nose and flavor with an earthy malt backbone. Lightly piney floral hop character and a lingering pleasant bitterness. Very, very smooth. Nice.

Mar 5, 2008 Updated: Mar 6, 2008On tap at El bait Shop Des Moines. Aroma is all hops, not that this is a bad thing. A light amber color.... almost orange. Hazy with a tight head that produces a good lace. Taste is again lots of hops, with a good grapefruit fruity/bittherness flavor. This is no citrusy cascade hoppy beer though, it’s bitter through and through. The beer is absolutely delicious. Palate is sharp and strong. I was amazed to find out that this brew was 8.5 abv, which is not to say that this strongly bitter beer was smooth in any way, however none of the "roughness" came from alcohol. A fantastic beer, I hope it’s not another three to five years before it’s available again.

Mar 1, 2008 draft from locker stock. Hazy red beer. Aroma is hoppy with a touch of roasted malt. Flavor is hops. Just like the description promised. It is a great beer for a hophead but I can see where some of the reviews aren’t raving about this beer.

Feb 28, 2008 Draft at Rustico in Alexandria, VA. Appearance was hazy and rust colored. Aroma is subtle with hop and malt characteristics. Mouthfeel has a strong bitterness that is well balanced by malt sweetness. Some oak notes in the flavor as well which lend a dry and warming character to the beer. Finish is dry and bitter with a hint of alcohol. Not quite as complex as I’d expected.

Feb 26, 2008 Draught at Happy Gnome, St. Paul. Creamy, caramelly aroma that is rich, sweet, vinous and has oak aged character. Hazy dark red body with a good sized tan head. Some good lace. Molasses aspect in the flavor. Pretty good, though not outstanding, which is about par for the course with Rogue.

Feb 25, 2008 Draught: Aroma is fruity. Smells of fruits, citrus, pine, and floral hops. Poured amber/orange in color with a medium-sized, creamy, off-white head that diminished quickly. Hazy. Very lightly sparkling. No lacing. Flavor of alcohol, bitter hops, floral hops, and smarties. Medium body. Sticky, tingly, lightly thin texture. Average carbonation. Dry, bitter, alcohol finish. Too much alcohol in the flavor.
