A: A nice looking clear red color with a finger of slightly off white head. Really good lacing.

S: It is a Rogue so the first thing you get it a very over hopped nose. There is some sweetness in there as well with a slight hint of the alcohol.

T: Mostly just some malt and hops. Nothing too crazy which works in this beer's favor. It can get a little bit overpowering at times. Tons of hop bitterness with some citrus as well.

M: A little bit on the sticky side. Medium to heavy mouthfeel.

D: Not too bad. Glad I got it on tap and did not have to try it out of one of those overprices ceramic bottles. A decent beer. Reminded me of lagunitas Lucky 13 which IMO is better and less than half the price.

From old, undated notes. Poured from the bottle.

Murky red rust color.

Nice tan head; thick lacing.

The nose is a light caramel aroma; barely there.

Medium thick mouthfeel.

Light caramel with a hop bite. A touch too bitter, with a slightly timid taste up front, but this isn't bad.

Dark red, amber, caramel color. Hazy appearance. Rich caramel aroma. Dense malt body with assertive herbal hop. Low carbonation and somewhat sand-like texture.
