Rogue Juniper Pale Ale

I recently visited my favorite independent beer and wine store, Brewery Creek, and bought a trio of Rogue brews to sample. Gerry, the manager, recommended this one to me.

Appearance: A beautiful straw gold color. It has a nice dense foam head and small bubbles.

Aroma: As one might expect from a pale ale, it had a hoppy aroma, with a hint of citrus.

Taste: A fine hoppy start that refreshes the palate as you drink it. A nice taste of hops and juniper on the finish. Very nice.

Mouth Feel: Refreshingly light on the palate with smooth small bubbles allowing the flavours to percolate nicely over the tongue.

Overall: Highly recommended. I am not usually a fan of especially hoppy beers, but this one is a winner.

Rating: 8/10
