I picked up a 26oz ceramic bottle of this bad boy earlier and cracked the bottle last night.
This is brewed at Rogue Ales Brewery out of Oregon.
Appearance - Stupendous!!! a slightly orange hue with a 2-3 finger head
Nose- BIG, and complex hop bouquet.
Taste - This should be at the top of every hop lover's list. The hop tastes comes out in full effect. The malted backbone was hiding just behind and helped to mellow the hops it was not overpowering yet was noticible and in good proprtion. The finish all hops with the slight sweetness of orange in the after taste.
Drinkability - smooth.... From begining to end this was a pure delight.
Only downside I would say is the cost. Paid $13.99 for the 26oz ceramic bottle which I would have preferred Rogue skipped and just lowered the cost.
Overall a great brew and definitely will pick up again when I am in need of a serious hop fix.
If you see it at your local and have the $ definitely give it a go!
