Commercial Description:
"This ain't your Dad's malt liquor" - Brewmaster John Maier After the death of his wife, Henry Jackson Smart was left to raise 6 young children alone. His courage, love, selflessness and dedication inspired his daughter, Sonora Smart Dodd, to organize the First Father's Day on June 19th, 1910. In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Fathers Day. President Nixon, in 1972, established it as a permanent day of national observance. Dad's is brewed with Harrington and Klages malts, Flaked Corn, Crystal Hops, Free Range Coastal Water, and Czech Pils Yeast. Available in the spring of 2005 in the classic 22-ounce Rogue micropiece. Measurements: 17 degrees Plato, IBU 25, Apparent Attenuation 77, Lovibond 10 degrees.

Bomber. Lightly hazy and golden in hue, the body of this beast is crowned with a foamy head of off-white foam. Settling in quickly, it leaves some hard drying bands of lacing to circle the glass. The aroma is sweet, showing notes of candied blonde malt, honey glazed grain, and cream of corn. Deeper inhalation shows a decent amount of spicy, grassy hops, but also brings with it a good amount of searing alcohol. The flavor is ever so slightly more balanced, some of the peppery grass coming forward, yet it remains largely sweet, grainy, and corny. The palate is substantial and nicely carbonated, but is just too darn sticky and alcoholic. I suppose it’s better than 95% of the genre, but that isn’t saying much.

Sampled at Lundeen’s Brew Ha-Ha 2009. Pours a clear golden color with a modest white head to top it. Aroma has a hay and straw malt note, some clean Noble hops notes. Flavor is very crisp of clean malt notes mostly with some corny notes and light grassy hops at the end. Body was in the moderate range with a pretty lively carbonation rate. Overall the brew hid the alcohol pretty well and was pretty smooth for a malt liquor.

Rogue Dad’s Little Helper is a sparkling, clear, dense golden lager with a thin white head that leaves excellent lacing. There is light grain and corn in the nose... perhaps black pepper or alcohol. It’s medium bodied and quite smooth. The finish is dry and pretty clean. It’s slightly sweet and boozy tasting. Yeah, it’s malt liquor. It tastes less poisonous than your typical malt liquor. There’s no fusel to be found here. It somehow seems very... Rogue.

Bottle from Bev 4 Less: poured a crystal clear golden color with a miniature serving of head. Aroma is bold and boasts a grainy malt and alcohol scent but much cleaner and adjunct free than any other malt liquor I have consumed. The flavor is a crisp and clean serving of grained malt with background of corn flakes and overall is the most impressing malt liquor style I have tasted even more better then Japanese beers I have had.

Bomber pours a clear medium gold with ring of big bubble white head. Aroma is perfumy, almost like potpouri. Flavor is sweet corny and a little spicy from the alcohol. Expensive for malt liquor, but pretty good for what it is.

Pours clear yellow. Sweet, thick malts. Nose of nothing. Not bad per se. But not good either. Cheapest Rogue beer I’ve ever seen....and its high gravity. Interesting experience, but one I’d rather not have again.

Pours a lasting ring of white head and a nice clear, golden body. Smells of thick, sweet malts. Flavor is very malty and sweet. Finish is sweet.
