Dec 13, 2009 Thanks Hayduke! A murky brown pour with a one finger tan head. Amazingly sweet aroma is fruity and spicy. Flavor offers almost as much sweet fruit. It also has a nice caramel profile. Even a hint of chocolate. The hops do make themselves known with a nice bitterness and some pine. I am not a fan of hugely hopped beers and this one suits my tastes. It is on the sweet side and very easy to drink. The hops do let you know that they are there but do not over power. A very nice and well crafted beer.

Dec 13, 2009 Pours deep orange with a head off-white and creamy. Aroma is resin, citrus, alcohol and caramel. Tastes moderately bittersweet initially, acidic in the middle and lightly bitter in the finish. Medium bodied, syrupy texture with soft carbonation. Impressive development in each swallow. A good IPA.

Dec 12, 2009 Pours a redish brown with a medium thick light tan head and a bit of clinging lacing. Aroma is of malt, yeast, and a touch of hops. It’s pleasant enough but no unexpected notes. Hops hit the flavor right off the bat, more on the piny side rather than citrus. There is a bit of malt in the undertone, but nothing too complex. Medium mouth feel. Overall nicely drinkable, but not extraordinary.

Dec 10, 2009 Light reddish-brown pour with off-white head. Aroma is light bisquits, hops, little caramel. Taste is malty, floral hops. The malts and hops balance well together. Nice lacing. Dry finish.

Dec 8, 2009 Pours hazy amber brown with a tan head. Aroma is citrusy hops with hints of roasted malt. Flavor is big citrusy hop with a nice malty backbone with a little bit of roastiness. Pretty good.

Dec 2, 2009 Aroma is nice and woodsy with pine and slightyly floral. Appearance is beautiful with a deep amber body and two finger head that diminishes gradually but never fades away. Taste is too bitter, a bit unpleasant, especially aftertaste. There isn’t too much to draw me to this beer. The palate is okay with a very refreshingly wet mouthfeel but a little thin.

Nov 30, 2009 The Dan Journal #314. Tasted 11/4/09. 22oz bomber. Hazy with a brown amber hue. Brainy tan head. Aromas of Melons and spices. Estery. Decent burn in the nose. Medium to full bodied with a big palate. Good malt bill. Huge effervescence and a tingling palate. Very bitter with big grapefruit flavors in the hops. Bright and good. Definitely a re-buy!

Nov 30, 2009 Typical Rogue, I suppose. Not that that is a bad thing, it’s just simple, fairly well made, no surprises. Piney, caramelly nose, and the flavor cashes the check the aroma writes. Tasty and easy to drink.
