An orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is OK hoppy, while the flavor is dry hoppy, and the body is thin. OK, but I had expected more, so I’m somewhat disappointed.

Orange coloured with creamy head. Super bitter with light grape aroma.

(On tap) Presented as "Rogue YSB". Clear, amber golden with an off-white head. Lightly nutty aroma. The body is fairly light with sweetish caramel accents. Overall dry and nutty with a light bitterness. 240307

I had always considered this to be a lost beer in Rogue’s immense portfolio. But when I had it last night, it opened my eyes. Here was a hoppy but well-balanced session bitter that I’d ignored far too often. There aren’t any surprises here, but the rich, earthy bitterness and sound fundamental structure make this a lovely ale.

Bottled at RBESG 2005. Cloudy orange coloured with a yellow head. Aroma of malts and caramel. Flavour of fruits, caramel and hops.
