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.

Pours pale gold into a shaker. Bright white head crackles and recedes to hug rim. Cereal, corn and biscuit aromas. Sweet and alcoholic -- with a finish like a bowl full of total.

Bottle, sample at Jupiter fest. Clear golden. Sweet corn aroma is seriously sweet and evocative. Good carbonation. Sweet and syrupy. I hate it but I realize this could be the pinnacle of malt liquor.

Bottle from Total Wine. Golden pour with a pretty decent sized white head. Aroma is sweet, caramel, graham cracker, and some light hops. Flavor is sweet, grainy, and has some light hops. My bottle was very carbonated. So this beer is ok, but certainly not great.

Bottle. Huge off-white lasting fizzy head into very lively golden body. very impressive lacing present on glass. aromas of frosted flakes, corn, some grass and a touch of metal. flavor is moderate sweet with touch of bitterness throughout. moderate finish duration. watery texture. Maybe is a bias due to the brand but this one is actually way better than some of the others that I have tried.

Pours a pale to medium gold with a thin creamy head that has great retention. Aroma is caramel covered granola, stale bread, feed corn, planty hops. Flavor is sweet corn, fake orange flavoring, karo syrup, planty hops, and some pilsner like sweet grassy notes. Body is rather thick and a little sticky, alcohol content is almost transparent other than a slight warmth in the stomache, would never guess 7.2%abv.

Bottle. Light caramel and grain for the malt, moderate resin for the hops, light yeast note of dough, with hints of wood, corn and white wine. Head is small, frothy, white with no lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is clear amber. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic and finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is medium, watery yet a touch slick and has a lively carbonation. Better than I expected, decently rounded and somewhat flavorful.

Bottle. Aroma has grape notes with a little apple, caramel, and little lager yeast. Cloudy orange tan hue with a tiny white fizzy head that fully diminished and left no lace. Flavor is sweet, fresh and quite refreshing. Palate is lively and crisp. Not bad at all. Quite drinkable and refreshing.

Reviewed 1/11/2009 (bottle): Pours a cloudy orange color body, with a big frothy white head, bubbly. Strong aroma of dark grape juice. Maybe a little malt too, but mostly grape juice. Smooth creamy mouthfeel. Carbonated malty grape taste. Somewhat grainy taste. Too grapy for me.
