I had much higher hopes for this Pale Ale. It's an alright Pale Ale - very piney, as I guess one would expect. But the piney flavor didn't necessarily equate to a "juniper" flavor in my opinion. Drinkable, but I don't think I'd buy this beer again.

Well, I usually don't buy Rogue given their prices. However, I make an exception when it comes to small singles. Here goes:
A: Very hazy orange-gold. Pours a medium-sized head that quickly recedes, leaving some lacing. Alright.
S: Lemon, coriander, and substantial bready aromas coming from the yeast. Very bready. Hint of juniper, although it's not prominent.
T: Lots of breadiness, light spices, lemon and orange peel. Like a Belgian pale. Juniper is also more prominent.
F: Thick and bready. Good.
O: Interesting beer. Definitely not worth the price, however.

Appearance - Clear and pale amber in colour this beer had light but constant streaming CO2. Atop there was a decent white soapy foam head that died to a lace cover very quickly.
Smell - The front was dominated by sweet sugary malts with some of the bitter juniper berries but there was also a distinct aroma of candy floss.
Taste - Similar to the nose this beer started very malty, sweet and sugary, up front with that same candy floss element. The juniper then kicked in about half way through throwing much needed balance in there. This beer did boast a nice bitter finish with a mild hint of booze. This beer turned out to be well balanced and much tastier than it looked or smelt.
Mouth feel - Smooth but towards then thin side of things in the body dept. This beer also to me had a rather cloying finish and so so lingering in the back of the throat.
Overall - The look, smell and mouth feel were all pretty average but the taste of this beer worked well for me. It delivered good balanced between a sweet malty front and more bitter nippy finish.
