Aug 27, 2006 I’ve tasted the original 1981. (AKA the New Hope, the Star Wars of Beers!!!) Amazing complexity. It is ruby red in color. Hop Aroma you could not believe. Redux was ok, just not quite the same. One Big Chuck, Please!

Mar 5, 2007 On draft at Green Leafe, Williamsburg. Robust amber hue with a rusty tinge, delivered with a firm head that slowly settled into a thin foam cap. Light floral hoppy aroma which left me a bit off guard on the first swallow ... thick and vicuous, stiffly alcoholic with a big hop oil undertow, too. Quality brew. Strong ... but I’m glad the bartender accidentally gave me a full glass.(#2732, 3/4/2007)

Dec 11, 2005 Updated: Feb 4, 2006Draft at Summit’s in Atlanta. WOW! I had this beer when it was originally released years ago and remembered it being one of my favorites. Well, it still is. This is a really good beer. Similar to Big Foot but dare I say better.

does not count  May 20, 2004 Bought the last case Rogue AleHouse in Portland had for sale in May 2003. A rich beer that combines a complex mix of fruit and malty hops. Its’s alcoholic effects are swift and welcomed. I could not wait to indulge myself with the next sip.

Dec 6, 2003 Perfect balance of flavour, complexity, and alcohol. Many floral and citrus flavours. Delicious. Too bad rogue doesn't seem to be making this one any more.
