Rogue Saint Rogue Red

12oz bottle, dry hopped. Served in a Bells snifter. The aroma is caramel, pine, toffee, rum, brown sugar, dark fruits, and a small amount of citrus, earthiness, and floral notes. The Chinook and Centennial are very piney and reminiscent of old school KB. Reddish amber color with a one fingered tan head. The taste is very malty, at first, with caramel, toffee, fruitcake, and molasses followed by a strong and pungent old growth pine forest, all resinous pine and fertile earth. Someone may have planted a cannabis plant in the forest, away from prying eyes. This beer takes a far different approach to the style as did the Mac and Jacks I had last week. Like most Rogue beers, it is aggressive, but enjoyable.

Noted at the Public House as ’Dry Hopped Red.’ Clear copper and off-white head, nice lacing. Both malt and floral hop aroma in the nose. Creamy maltiness and hop flavor. Not a big brew but nice thick mouthfeel. Very nice.

12 oz. bottle. Pours an opaque amber color with a light white head. Aroma of caramel and floral hints. Hoppy biterness. Light to medium bodied with a bitter finish.

Very red in colour (funny that!) with a thin creamy head. A touch of haze as well. I’m starting to get a feel for the house style here as the nose is loaded up with sweet liquored hops, along with a fruity / estery character as well. Sweet spices too. Mega attractive. One sip quickly tells you the flavours are more traditional; bitter dry herbs early, followed by a thickening hop character that gets marginally sweeter on the finish. To my tastes quite bitter for the style.

Looks hazy, deep brown-red coloured in the glass. Dry, hoppy, bready aroma with some malts, spices, grass, salty notes.
