Bottle: Clear gold in color with a fizzy white head. Malty aromas with mainly floral notes in the taste. There is something that bothers me about this - I don’t know if it is the fermented cardboard late taste or if it is the flat and oily feel, or if it the similarity to a rotten lunch sack, but this quite malty ale is not for me.

355ml bottle pours pale golden color with a small white head that leaves very little lacing. Aroma is light malts and hops. Taste is malty sweet with a moderate hop bitterness. Light body and soft carbonation. A decent blonde ale, but nothing memorable.

Rooster Tail Ale’s label shows a man surfing an ocean wave. Is a Rooster Tail a surfing term? And if so, why is a central Oregon brewery putting a surfer dude on their label? Redmond Oregon is two mountain ranges, one river valley, two national forests, and 200 miles from the ocean. P.S. The beer is good.

Draught at the brewhouse in Redmond. Slightly darker color that the blonde. lasting lace. Some bready, nutty malt in the aroma. Malt flavors are nutty and bready with a touch of caramel and mild earthy spice and bitterness from the hops. Heavier than the blonde but similar overall, but not as drinkable.

Thanks buddy for bringing this back home- deep golden colour, slightly orange. Mega malt on the nose, some carmel. Big hops- a bit unabalanced- apple and bready notes near the finito. I must be missing somethign with this beer.

Ugh- another stinker. Sweet corn grain, thin and metallic with a skunky veggie character.

12 oz bottle. Clear gold pour with a thin white head. Aroma of light citrus and caramel malt, some light sugar. Flavor too sweet with grain and light citrus. Bland and not full of much flavor, too thin by half.

Sample taster at John’s Market Place. Nose was just some grainy sweetness. Clear gold with a medium white head. Flavor just some sweetness. and only a tiny touch of bitterness.

Not a very good brew for craft, and not much to say other than it was watered down and was slighty sweet.

Poured a clear golden color with a small head. Sweet malty flavor with almost no hops to spealk of. Not much more to say. Just a step up from the big macrobrews.

Draft at 7th St Brewhouse, Redmond, OR. Rating 2900. Pours a pale yellow color with a small white head. Has a sweetish malty hoppy citrus aroma. Sweetish malty fruity hoppy flavor. Has a sweetish malty hoppy finish.
