Aug 5, 2008 pours a golden yellow with a medium head that disipates quickly. Nice and easy to drink sweet taste and end very light on the palate.

Aug 4, 2008 Your average clear golden hue with fast rising carbonation and a foamy white head. Medium malt aroma and a bannana like high alcohol smell. A very mild hop aromi in the end. Palate is light and smooth for easy drinking. Sweet malt flavor, medicine-like but ultimately a watery feel. Strangely hollow for a Rogue Ale.

Aug 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours golden with a fizzy white head that is gone in seconds. Sweet fruits in the aroma with a malt background. Apple flavors at first that trade to a citrus flavor as it warms. Hints of caramel. Also mint? Light body, fizzy and dry.

Jul 29, 2008 Not bad at all, especially for a malt liquor. Quite drinkable, but I wish it was in a 40 oz (actually, never mind, 22oz is fine). Pours with a largish, rocky white (pretty long lasting) head covering a chill hazed yellow body. Hardly any aroma...maybe some corn, hops and nail varnish. Taste is sweet and bland, with a bit of nail varnish, not bad. Fizzy. Taste a bit like Carlsberg Elephant, but cleaner and less cloying.

Jul 26, 2008 Light head is slightly disappointing, head disappears totally. Sweet apple like smell and taste with some hops coming in the taste.

Jul 26, 2008 22oz bottle - I drank this one alongside a Hurricane High Gravity Lager (A-B product) to compare the two and see what a craft brewer could do with this style that’s best known for being a cheap alcohol delivery system. Would the $6 bottle of Rogue be that much better than the $1.19 can? It pours clear gold with a one finger white head and a sweet corn and malt aroma. The taste is sweet malt with a touch of citrus fruit esters. The malt liquor corn is in there too. It’s light to medium bodied and finishes sweet with a touch of alcohol. It’s drinkable and not bad. I finished it, unlike the Hurricane. So in conclusion, the Rogue malt liquor is, as one might expect, much better than the $1.19 can of Hurricane. However it’s in no way worth the $6 a bomber.

Jul 20, 2008 Gold with a very thin white head. Aroma is malt, honey, alcohol. Taste is alcohol, light malt sweetness, corn. Not as repulsive as most malt liquors.

Jul 17, 2008 A golden ale with a thin white head. A doughy malt aroma with sweet peary notes and light alcohol. In mouth, a marzipan tasting beer, veering on a Belgian ale, sweet vanilla and warming alcohol. Medium bodied. Tasted in late Dec. 2006.
