look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5

Had on 1/3/12 out of a 12oz bottle. No production date was on bottle.

A- Pours a reddish-brown/copper color. About an inch of head that dissipates slowly. Clear.

S- Slightly hoppy, floral notes. Slightly malty notes with a hint of spice.

T- Quite malty/malt foward. Hint of butterscotch on back-end with a bit of spice. Bit of a hoppy/bitter finish.

M-Medium, bitter, low carbonation. Low carbonation may be from sitting on the shelf for awhile.

O- Overall I found this to be a decent Amber. Heavier/thicker than some that I've had, which is a plus, but less hoppiness than others is a let down. Other than that, I find this one mildly refreshing and easy to drink.

Poured two fingers of head on a hazy, dark red colored body.
The aroma is dry grain and little lemon.
The taste is complex with a nice malt side. Lemon bitter but the malt is the star; barnyardish taste but good.
The texture is smooth with moderate carbonation.
It's certainly more flavorful and interesting than most amber ales.

Amber woody color with a nice thick off-white head with good retention.
Relatively light aroma (for a Rogue) but with a nice smell of citrus, pine and flowers and sweet bready malt.
Flavor is bolder, nice bitterness balanced by a semi-sweet citric taste. Spicy and strong orange notes.
Dry, bitter and citric aftertaste.
Light to medium body with good carbonation.
I could drink this all day. Very balanced and not extreme (which is good for a change) and still not dull.
