Rogue 4x4 Ale

Formerly brewed at Rogue Ales
Style: American Pale Ale
Newport, Oregon USA

Hoppy nose of pine, pacman yeast too, a little spicy, silky dull palate, flavor a little bland at the end.

Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a small white head. Aroma was well hopped with some citrus varieties. Taste was very hoppy but the bitterness balanced well with some background malts. Good brew, but not the top of my list on the 15th series.

Pale golden yellow. Nice white head filled the top of the glass. Smell of citrus with some hops come out in the nose. Little tangy and bitter in the front. Smooth on the palate, makes you thirst for more to cleanse. Pretty good.

Very pale golden color with a small foamy head, very light and fizzy with a bit of islandic lacing. The aroma is toasty with biscuits and a fresh light hop note, very clean and floral, the oposite of purfumey. The flavor has a moderate bit of hops and some tangy malts. There isn’t too much malt body, very dry. Lots of sediment in the bottom that was carefully not poured in. The finish is dry and hoppy with a more herbal hop note. Good APA, you’re the man Brian!

Pours golden with light head and lacing. Mild carbonation. Cascade hops come out fairly clearly in the nose. The other hops make their presence known as well. Small malts. Slight citrus hop flavors. Bitter comes up next with a small touch of malts. Some caramel. Slight doughiness. Smooth texture and a silky body that leads to a small finish of hops, bitter and floral. Thanks Brian!

Color's a cloudy orange, head is fresh, crystalline, white as driven snow, delicate and lacey...Aroma: uplifting and lively, airy and angelic, nice hoppiness, none I can call out, but noble, nonetheless, I put forth. Taste: brisk hops blast on the palate, replete with lush fruits, peach and apricot, mango, green apple, and more, wonderful flavor, that's fruity, but never too sweet, quickly drying in the mouth. Medium bodied, tastily textured, long, tingly, continually fruity, peachy finish. A very good beer...crystal, cascade, & centennial, yumalicious!

Golden straw with a bleached-white, sticky, frothy head. Slightly rocky. Assertively peppery hop aroma with hints of grassy herbs, fir, flowers, and a light orange zest presence from the hops. Toasted malts become less subdued as it warms with well-masked phenols and the prevalent Rogue house character. Tight carbonation yet adequately creamy. Mild leafy acidity counters the vivacious, cobwebby yeast. Toasted pale malts come on strong to mellow the brash hop bitterness. Nutty yeast adds lots of firmness to the body, but the heavy dose of bready malts is there to lend plenty of softness. Malts become chewier and lightly doughy toward the conclusion while the hop bitterness never dies down. Lingering nuttiness from the lightly-toasted pale malt husks and a light hint of honeydew and firm yeastiness. Solid effort, but just another anticipated, middle-of-the-road Rogue brew.

Slight hazy,gold. Streaming,carbonation,frothy,head. Light aroma,of wheat,hops,some malt. Creamy,lightly fizzy,medium body. Good malt,wheat,lightly hoppy flavors. Finish is really hoppy(grassy,floral),with lingering malt. Tastes more lagerish,than the ones they intend to be a lager. Not a bad beer,very drinkable. Thanks Batkins!
