Rogue Irish Style Lager

This is the second of the trio of Rogues I bought at Brewery Creek.

Appearance: A light amber colour, slightly hazy like one might see in a wheat beer, nice small bubbles.

Taste: A classic lager with some hop and not too much fizz. A short finish with an aftertaste of malt.

Mouth feel: Light and refreshing, smooth on the palate.

Overall: This is a nice simple lager, has a nice flavour and is better than mainstream lagers. 

Rating: 7/10

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.
