Commercial Description:
"This ain't your Dad's malt liquor" - Brewmaster John Maier After the death of his wife, Henry Jackson Smart was left to raise 6 young children alone. His courage, love, selflessness and dedication inspired his daughter, Sonora Smart Dodd, to organize the First Father's Day on June 19th, 1910. 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. Measurements: 17 degrees Plato, IBU 25, Apparent Attenuation 77, Lovibond 10 degrees.

Almost honey colored with a white head. Aroma is mostly smokey malts. Body is light and not smokey at all. Flavor is very sweet corn with some raisin. Very smooth with little carbonation. Quite sweet.

bottle - 650 ml -- Malt Liquor? probably the best malt liquor I have ever had. Its a fairly balanced beer that hides the alcohol level well. Sweet corn flavor, good hoppy bite. Given the beer’s name, it’s only fitting to dedicate my 300th rating to my Dad. Now to just get him away from light beer. haha

Poured pale, no head. Aroma was corn, sweet. Flavor was actually decent though, some complexity and rather drinkable. Medium bodied. Props for making a malt liquor.

Pours the usual golden color with some slight amberness to it. The aroma was pretty corn-like, light alcohol. The flavor was thick corny pale lager with no noticeable alcohol. Mouthfeel was moderate, sweet, little acidic touch to it. Reminded me of DFH’s Liquor De Malt. If these things weren’t such liver wasters, a side-by-side runoff would be thrilling (not really).

clear yellow disappearing white head. aroma fruity almost belgian like banana aroma. bittersweet malt liquor flavor. light fruity notes. bitter dry finish with a hint of spice. light watery. very light almost no carbonation. decent malt liquor..........i guess..........i was drinking a colt 45 with it and i would almost take the colt 45 over the dlh.........ummmm its a malt liquor and the body and carbonation sucked even for that. i dunno. i guess i was hoping for a good malt liquor. i got something that i didint like as much as colt 45......granted i was drinking the colt 45 from the 40........looking back on the notes i might have rated this a bit too high....but.....

Rating for ’Rogue Dad’s Little Helper’ (just thought I’d make that clear before Rogue changes its name.)

Looks rather like what you’d expect of a quality malt liquor: sickly-thick golden/amber with a quick white head. While Rogue makes no attempts to hide the corn, they certainly do put some lipstick on it. Candied and a bit toasty (at least "bready"), yea, verily, with a big alcohol hit... moreso in the nose than on the tongue. Flavor is malty and corny and sweet and oh-so-good of a style representation. Yep. Thick & sweet & sugary. Top-notch crunk juice.

Bottle. Small white fizzy head that mostly diminished with no lacing, transparent, visible carbonation, and a golden hue. Nose was corn, mildly hoppy, and malt. Ditto for the flavor. Tingly mouthfeel and medium bodied. Nothing real special with this one. It is what it is-boring.

Translucent straw-colored body, thin off-white head. Biscuity aroma with corn and grassy hops. Sharp, sweet corn body with metallic notes, grassy hops. Aftertaste of rotting corn. Father is embarrassed...and angry...and wearing a wife-beater.
