| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 4, 2007 I was pleasantly surprized that this was a new (to me) Rogue ale and not simpliy another aliased beer. It pours a browned copper body with a dense beige head, quite well sustained and solid in its lacing. The aroma is rich, juicy caramel with fresh smelling grapefruit and pine hops. The flavor begins with an even balance of the two, but soon the hops dominate and leave you with a prolonged bitter finish. With its modest ABV, this makes for a decent session ale.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jun 28, 2007 (Bottle) Pours reddish amber. Very hoppy aroma of citrus fruits like oranges. Also pine, resin and some lighter floral notes. Small notes of caramel in the background. Hoppy flavour as well with citrus up front, but also some pine. The body is a bit too thin. Finish is tart dryish and light acid with descent bitterness. Tiny caramelly and syrupy but more malt is needed. badlizard (2345), Berkeley, California, USA
