I remember having this before I knew what Rogue was all about. What an eye-opener. This is classic Rogue - robust, with lots of hops, a good earthy maltiness and a surprising amount of style for a session ale.

This was a re-rate a long time coming. Golden colour with particular matter suspended. Aroma hints of lemongrass, orange and a bit of wood. Moderately bitter body with light citrus and rich pale malts.

Love that Rogue. Even a cream ale is great when they make it...............

Re-rate: I absolutely adored this beer when I first had it at the Blind Tiger in 1997 ($2/pint happy hour at that!). Since then, I’ve had little tastes and sips and none of them came close to what I remembered. But finally, a shade over 10 years later, I get around to a re-rate. Yeah, I suck. Chestnut brown, bright, thin head. Aroma is mainly a toasty-roasty dark malt. The flavour shows this as well, but brings in a sickly sweet artificial hazelnut element. The body is thin for a Rogue as is the hopping...yeah I know it’s a brown but something has to balance off that syrupy hazelnut. What the hell was I thinking...this is poor.

An excellent example of the Vienna style....................................

A nice full-bodied and flavorful porter. Nice chocolate hints - but at the same time, very dry, roasty and hopped. Still, I would like this better if it was sweeter and more of a dessert beer. It makes a good aperitif as it is, though. Other: thick, opaque black, huge firm head, perfect thick lace.

Very nice brown color. Small head forms - doesn't last long. Nutty aroma - very nice. Hoppiness apparent as soon as it hits the tongue - becoming sharper and more bitter as you swallow. An unexpected flavor. Mellows some as you finish the bottle. Maltiness slow becomes more apparent, an interesting trait. A nice easy drinking ale - a real treat from Rogue (as always....do they make a *bad* beer?).
