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.

Poured into a pint glass from a large bottle to drink. The beer was a cloudy, pale, straw color with a small, bubbly white head that was quickly gone and had minimal cling. The aroma was of grain and corn hops with a sour mash effect and maybe some barley. It had a predominantly sour taste with some grainyness and a touch of corn; some bitterness. The beer was wet but had a thinner mouthfeel with very low carbonation and was a tad rough on the palate. Not that great in my opinion, but I guess it was ok for a malt liquor.

Bottle, got it at World Market for my Dad. Pours a light yellow haze with a small white head. Aroma is sweet malt with a little bit of a hop smell. Flavor is sweet bite of earthy hops and malt, a lot of malt. Very good and drinkable, I would buy this if it came in a six pack.

Apple lager yeast and malt aroma. Hazy golden color with a small white head. Very mild sweet bitterness that fades to a light sour dry finish.

Bomber. Pours a hazy gold with a one finger white head. Nose is malt, light hops and corn. Taste is honey, malt, corn syrup and light hops in the finish. Medium mouth feel. Meh, not that good… at all.

Funny kind of beer but its works ok. Very light amber in colour with a very thin head. Nose is unmistakeably creamy soda with a sweet confectionary-like malt sweetness. Palate is comparatively dry with a lager-like bitterness kicking in late. All a bit simple really but I quite enjoyed it. Although, and as the percentile rating indicates, not in the class of the other Rogue beers.

clear golden color with a medium sized white head and horizontal, slug trail and spotty lacing. yep... all three. it lacks a "stink" or any aromas typical to the cheap stuff. sweet aroma... sweet corn, cinnamon, grain, red apple and a faint yeasty note. it*s mildly sweet on the palate (though low for a typical ML). flavors of grain, metal, dry grass, a bit of spice, a mild savory yeast note, apples and grapes with a hoppy, spicy and dry finish. there*s a faint floral touch and slight hint at the abv% as it warms (what ML should be consumed warm?). medium body with a smooth mouth feel and lack of any stickiness.

very clean and well done with no chemical flavors in sight. almost too nice to call malt likka???... 8/4/8/5/17/4.2

Bottle... Pours an average lively yellow with a sweet syrup, slight melon, and peach aroma. A malty melon and molasses tinge dominates at first when tasted, but a vanilla finish somehow finishes it out. Average mouthfeel. Not shabby but not great.
