Rogue Dads Little Helper

Rogue does malt liquor... Okaaayy. Aroma of tin and sweet malts. Taste is above most malt liquors, but manages to capture the crappiness of the style. This hurts my stomach. Why they would choose this ghetto beer style to honor "Fathers Day" is beyond anyones guess. No Rogue no!!!

Draught > Flying Saucer. Weak and not that good. Sweet and Citrusy to boot which is a bit confusing. One and done. Another notch in the RB bedpost.

Pours golden-honey tint, with a medium head that lasts. Aroma is dry cereal with peaches and honey. Flavor is initially slight grain and sweet, but very smooth and well-balanced overall. I drank this at room temp (70F) and noticed no alcohol. This would be a top-notch European strong lager if they categorized it that way. Palate is medium-bodied and fairly smooth, with tingly carbonation on the front. Had this on Mother’s Day and it definitely helps!

22oz bomber(Binny’s Naperville)-Clear golden body with a small ring for a head and an aroma of malt, hops, and slight alcohol. Taste of alcohol, malt, and more alcohol. the alcohol comes out even more as it warms up. Better than Schlitz.

Poured golden color with white head. Not much aroma, flavor or palate that I can remember. Had a grainy finish.

Sampled at the 2007 Blooms & Brews Fest at the Oregon Gardens. THis beer pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Smells and tastes like a good malt liquor, corny and grainy, with high carbonation.

22oz - Aroma of corn, pale malts and corn syrup. Pours transparent yellow with a small head and great lacing. Flavor matches aroma and is not very tasty. Palate is sticky and tart. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a malt liquor and if this is one of the better examples, probably the last.

I liked it. Of course, this is my first beer rating here, as I’m venturing away from the standard over the counter junk. I’ve bought many new beers, so I’m sure it’s going to find it’s place amongst my list.
