Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Bottle. Very light aromas of caramel, hay, herbs and earth. Its color is a hazy tan/orange. The frothy head on this beer stood out in duration and its excellent lacing. Only moderately bitter, it also has a tart element and a nice dry finish. Body is medium light, oily and has a lively carbonation. Nothing real bold about this beer but its very dri
Cloudy orange pour with a medium white head. Hops, pine and grapefruit, and malt are prevalent in the nose. Interesting taste. Its like an ESB split with an IPA. Lighter and fruity, but with creamy malts. Not what I expected.
Hoppy (Rogue...surprise,surpise!) and very tasty. Amber to light orange pour adn decent head. Always been a fan of Rogue...and this one doesnt dissapoint!
