3.88/5  rDev -2.3%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Appearance: Tan with brown and gold hues. Decent sized head, streaming carbonation.

Smell: Malty and sweet. Good hop aroma.

Taste: Carmel malt and sweetness at first. Brown sugar through the middle, clean bitter finish. Nothing earth shattering either way but nice and pleasant.

Mouthfeel: A little bit thin but still substantial. Good carbonation.

Overall: More of a sentimental favorite than anything else. This beer really caught me off guard and brought me into craft. Maybe it's the evolution of my taste buds to bigger and better things but it's not as incredible as I remember. Still, I really enjoy the beer. It's got good flavor, it's pleasant and very drinkable.

22oz bomber into pint glass

A - a slightly cloudy dark orange/almost brown beer. only about an inch of head, which dissipates quickly. decent amount of lacing

S - bready/grainy malts, slight hops, and some yeast characteristics as well. not a lot going on in the smell

T - malt forward but a nice kick from the hops (citrus i think), which wasnt there in the smell. dried fruits permeate throughout, finishes very smooth

M - Medium bodied which is surprising given the booze content. well carbonated

Overall - A very nice offering from Rogue, not surprising this is their pride and joy and most heavily distributed. smooth drinking, good flavors. only complaint is from the nose, which is a minor complaint
