Draught from the blind tiger. Purs a cloudy brown. Thin but persistent head. Aroma is floral and soil. Some maltiness to taste. Pretty good.

Huge hoppy aroma, but more pine, than citrus. Spruce, and pine, even some cedar. A big bold malt back bone, earthy, and a very very bitter finish. Great stuff!

June 2009: 1 pt. 6 fl. oz. bottle, as Rogue Captain Sig’s Northwestern Ale, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Hazy brown colour, huge light tan head. Nice aroma of fruity American hops (Horizon, Amarillo and Cascade). The flavour has a considerable malty sweetness with hints of caramel, which probably is necessary to balance the 80 IBU. The fruity and resinous hops add more to the flavour than just bitterness, but the finish is nonetheless quite bitter. Good stuff.

Bottle. Nutty toffee malt, quinine, and grapefruit peel aroma. Cloudy dark amber with large light tan head. Mildly sweet nutty toffee malt and moderately bitter herbal grapefruit peel flavor. Good body.

On tap at the sf brewery tap. Clear orange amber coloured pour with a lasting creamy head. Aroma is fruity berry, passion fruit, caramel biscuit, jammy berry, grainy. Flavour is composed of toasted brown malts, burnt sugar, berry, assertive back of the throat bitterness. Some brown sugars and jammy fruit linger. Good lace. Slight metallic note. Harsh bitterness. Palate is semi sweet, moderate carbonation, slightly sticky.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; hazy amber pour with a big frothy beige head, aroma has robust malts and some red fruits, taste has sweet caramel, some peach, bready malts, expecting more hop action.

Draft at Taps Beer Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a reddish brown with a frothy white head and lots of clingy lace. The aroma is ripe citrus, light floral, light herbal. The flavour is moderate bitter sweet with a smooth, rich, fruity, yeast, alcoholic, bitter hop, light chocolate palate and la ingering alcoholic bitter finish. It tastes much stronger than it is.
