22 ounce bottle - $5.49 at Bullock's Wine & Spirits in Marietta, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a clouded, light mahogany-hued body with an off-white cap of suds on top.
Smell: Dry, day-old biscuits tops with mellow notes of tired spices, oranges, and, well, that's about it. It's a pretty mild aroma, really.
Taste: Biscuity, bready malted barley accentuated with a touch of toasted grains and a modest sweetness. Apricot fruitiness early on. Earthy spiciness, very slight leafiness, and a pinch of citric orange zest from the hops with ample bitterness. Mild yeastiness of Rogue's house strain throughout. Final, brief displays of biscuit crumbs and a bit of cooked sugars before the spicy, earthy finish. Very mild bitterness lingering into the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-light, soft carbonation.
Drinkability: As with the other GYO brews, it's reasonably decent, albeit simplistic and straight-forward, though the Dirtoir Black Lager was pretty tasty. So far, a batting average of .200 for the series.

Had this on tap at the Rogue pub. Very well balanced and easy drinking. Don't let the ibu count scare you, they did a great job of making this for anyone who likes a pale ale.

Poured on tap a light amber under a half-inch thick white head which leaves semi-rings of lace. Aroma is lightly floral, herbal, and hoppy. Flavor is balanced with malt and piney notes. Finishes with an herbal spice. Semi-moderate body.

the rogue farms project is such a cool series of beers, with stuff we dont see too often in the beer world. i mean, some of them have been downright bizarre. this one is less inspired than some of the others honestly, and as much as i love wet hop beer, this one doesnt necessarily display those qualities as well as i would like it to. the homegrown thing is awesome, and i have to give points for that, but this recipe needs more hops. i get a balanced american pale here, not a wet hop ipa. that sticky fresh sappy hop thing is too subtle, its only in the finish, and the grain seems to be showcased as much as the hops when i just want it to get out of the way. maybe part of it is i am not familiar with the hops used in this recipe, they are rogues own i think, and they are either real mild or way under dosed. that said, the beer is clean drinking, autumnal in its own way, and pretty dark tasty. i just wish for more of the wet hop character, maybe next year.
