Rogue American Amber

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Amber Ale
Newport, Oregon USA

Poured from a 25 ounce bottle into a pint glass, light hazy rust color with a medium tan head. Aroma was hoppy and sweet with notes of citrus fruit, of which oranges stood out. The taste was sweet and dominated by hops with a slightly bitter finish. The malt flavor seemed to kick in after a few sips. A decent effort although perhaps not suited specifically to my taste.

The color is a nice foggy, amber/orange. The head is creamy, foamy, and light beige. The aroma was spicy, hoppy, and ale. The flavor was bitter, some spice, and waxy. The palate was medium-bodied. The finish was clean.

Pours a copper amber brew with chill haze. A medium, tan, quasi-creamy head. The aroma is sweet, fruity/citrusy hops, impressive aroma. The flavor has about the same depth. Slightly more bittering/dry hops. Definitely more character than this style usually allows. The palate is a little dry and harsh. The finish is dry and waxy too.

22 oz. bottle - perhaps the most boring of rogue beers tried to date...should be expected with a name like american amber i guess...drinks smooth and pours cloudy, but aroma and taste are very disappointing by rogue standards

Dark red beer. "smooth, soft, mellow, & and sexy", according to my Uncle Brian, but you would have to meet him to know why. Reminded us a bit of the Sprecher. Hoppy aroma, farily smooth front and middle, with a medium hop finish.

Pint glass from a bottle. A surprisingly flavorful and complex ale. Good blend of malts, hops, and grains, heavier on malts but not overpowering.

(Bottle) Pours a nice amber color with a small off-white head. Nice amber with a good mouthfeel. Maltiness is the obvious theme of the beer, but it’s also well balanced, and ends on a crisp note. A good amber ale.

This beer has a very, very beautiful dark amber color with a nice red hue and a large, golden head. The aroma hops and caramel gush from the glass and starts the pump in my mouth, so that it has to send out flood warnings... I greedily attacks the glass and my lust is met by a mouthfeel, that is smooth and full. The flavour is wonderfully smooth and has a lot of nicely balanced roasted malts and aroma hops, that gives notes of caramel and a bit of fruit. The bitterness is delicate and has notes of citrus. A VERY nice beer indeed!
