Location: Draft at Rogue Public House in San Fran, 5/12/11

Aroma: The nose has some Belgian yeast, fruity notes, malts, spice, and some hops
Appearance: This one pours into the glass a mostly clear amber-orange color
Flavor: Flavors of yeast, spice, some light fruity sweetness, and some hop bitterness on the finish
Palate: This one was drinkable for sure, with a decent body, and above average carbonation
Overall Impression: This one is kind of a funny story, because the night before I tried it I was drinking next to the brewer at La Trappe, and he mentioned that his first beer was on tap around town. I said sure, if I see it, I'll definitely try it, but since I was only going to be in town for about 1-2 more days total, I figured it was a long shot. Low and behold, the very next day I walked into Rogue, look up at the board, and I see this one there. Well, I figured I had to order one at that point, and so I did. I was not disappointed at all by this one. A very nice first offering from a new brewery. This one was basically a slightly hoppy Belgian style Tripel, but it was pretty well made, and just kind of worked. Keep brewing, but I would suggest a name change, as the "Cherry" in "Cherry Voodoo" definitely confuses people into thinking they are ordering a fruit beer.
