I tried this beer on March 7, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's in Toronto, Ontario. The beer poured a dark cloudy reddish-brown colour with a tan coloured head. The aroma was sweet malt, some yeast, and raisins. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with high-carbonation, almost champagne-like. The flavour was also sweet malt, with a definite alcoholic taste in back.

I tried this beer on March 7, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto. The beer poured a solid reddish-brown colour with a thin white head. The aroma was primarily grassy with a little malt. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, but highly carbonated. The flavour was grassy, a little malt, and a little sourness. Definitely better than a Corona or a Tecate.

The beer poured a hazy coppery-red colour with a large generous fluffy off-white head. The aroma was extremely hoppy. A lot of floral perfumey hints such as pine, and grapefruit. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, fairly carbonated, and bitter. The flavour was divine. Almost like my morning grapefruit in beer form. My first Rogue beer, and it didn't disappoint.

The beer poured a translucent orangy-red colour with a generous white bubbly head which quickly disappeared. The aroma was faintly sour apples. not as strong as others have suggested. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, almost creamy, and highly carbonated. The flavour wasn't all that sweet...very reminiscent of the crabapples I used to eat as a child on the way to school. Not a lot of malty flavours or hoppy tones in this one.

The beer poured a golden colour with some reddish hints. The head was huge, white, and short-lived...quickly dissipating into uneven lacing on top. The aroma was very grassy with a little bit of malt. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with ample carbonation. The flavour was very grassy as well with some hints and very subtle hoppiness.

The beer poured a translucent dark red with a thin white head. The aroma was fruity, with very little if any hints of malt or hops. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, and very champagne like. The flavour also had a champagne feel, and was very sweet with some subtle sour hints to balance out the sweetness.

The beer poured black with no head. The aroma was roasted malt, some coffee hints, dark cocoa, and some slight cherryish hints. The mouthfeel was smooth, full-bodied, and very little carbonation. The flavour was malty, chocolatey, with a little bit of hoppy bitterness.

5.0% ABV I tried this beer on February 26, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario. The been poured a translucent gold with a thin white head that didn't last long. The aroma was very grainy/grassy with some malty hints. The mouthfeel was clean, crisp, medium bodied, and medium to high carbonation. The flavour was overwhelmingly grainy with some hoppy hints at the finish. Not a great tasting lager, but it goes down very well.

I tried this beer on February 26, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario. The beer poured a dark translucent amber colour with a white head which disappates to permanent lacing. The aroma was slightly malty, but had an unmistakable floral hoppiness that was a prelude of good things to come. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour had some hints of malt, but was very hoppy, with some grapefruit like bitterness in the finish. A very good beer.

The beer pours a translucent gold colour with a generous white fluffy head that disappears quickly, and is highly effervescent. The aroma is very grainy with some faint honey hints. The mouthfeel is thin, carbonated, and watery. The taste is somewhat watery as well with some hints of grass and honey, but nothing strong.
