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.

small thin white head and weak yellow body, not very pretty but tasty. it is good for being a malt liquor and better than any other, which isn’t really saying much. i liked the malty flavor and smooth taste. for the price it’s not really worth spending on a "good" malt liquor but the novelty is fun.

Pale dirty yellow with a thin, slumpy soapsud head. Very soft malty and grainy aromas, perhaps also notes of apple, DMS, and damp earth. Nearly flavorless... corn-heavy macrolager... a suggestion of floral/honey character. Overall sulphur/industrial chimney impression. Barely recognizable hop bitterness. Minimal carbonation contributes to a flabby, oily mouthfeel. Quality of the bottle’s contents are far outshadowed by the bottle itself. Overall, tastes like gummy, bile-soured hangover mouth. The last thing craft brewings needs is another Rogue novelty beer.

Pours a mostly translucent golden with amber note and a smaller creamy white head that left some lacing. Aroma was sweet and malty. Some corn, grains, caramel and some honey/floral notes. Flavor is also very malty and sweet. Picking up the grains, corn and a touch of honey/caramel. Decent for the style I suppose, still just too sweet and in a cloying type of way.

22 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquor - Pours a light golden color with a one finger thick white head. Light spotty lacing. Aroma is herbal/grassy hops and light grain. Flavor is lightly sweetened grain balanced nicely with a small hop presence. Not too bitter. Medium body. I was expecting something nasty like Schlitz Malt liquor. It’s not that bad. Worth a try.

22oz’er. Yep it’s a malt liquor...just like the bottle says. However when forced to drink something like this....I would pcik this beer over a Mickey’s or King Corbra or an Old E. Goes down easy and smooth. No hot flavors or anything like that. Nice carb and very clear golden in color. For it’s style I would say it’s good.

On Draught at the Issaquah Brewhouse. Aroma is faint sweet malt with a slight sour carbonic note. Appearance is light straw, clear, with a low white head. Flavor is sweet malt forward with some sourness and carbonic flavors. Beer has medium/high bittering with some actual hop complexity, but flavors are just too low overall. Mouthfeel is light bodied with a medium/high carb feel. Overall, better than expected.

22oz bottle. Wow this is probably one of the worst Rogue Ale’s I have had. I should have known after reading the "malt liquor" label on the bottle. In Rogues defense, I know that they were trying to make this type of beer and get this type of flavor and still its 100 times better than any malt liquor out there. Pours a light yellow, pretty much no aroma, and the taste is very malty. I would still take this over any macro brew like bud or miller.

bomber; pours a dirty pumpkin hue with a big foamy head. thick lacing around the rim of my stein. smells mildly lively with faint light hops and a big hello from the yeast goblin. aromas of light honey and a tight floral bouquet are noticed here as well. first taste reveals the honey characteristic a bit more, as well as a very flat hefe feel to it. i never thought that rogue would pull out their brotha card here. the yeasts are prominent as well as faint citrus bringing up the rear. it’s a really light beer with Rogue Ale tendencies. definitely compatible with fried chicken or pizza. i may revisit this one again.
