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.

Clear golden body with no head. The aroma is boring, bland, but slightly sweet, very little vegetal character, but some mild corn. The body is pretty light despite the alcohol and lack of carabonation. The flavor isn’t bad and it’s definitely the best tasting malt liquor I’ve had to date. Certainly not the most enjoyable beer, but a tasty, drinkable ML and in a 22 oz bottle to boot!

Split a big bottle with Poperinge. Gold liquid with a quickly thinning head. A not offensive aroma, a bit "corny". Flavour is not typical malt liquor but not a quality drink that you want to have on hand either. Flavour can best be described as a high alcohol poor amber ale with a mix of caramel, vanilla, corn and alcohol. Kind of reminded me of Bucanero Max.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is macro-like with some added hops. Flavor is slightly sweet,thin and bitter, but drinkable.

Pale gold body with no head. Thin aroma, sweet barley, maybe some hops cowering in the background somewhere. Taste isn’t too bad, very sweet however, some honey, similar to most Malt Liquors. Ending is bland, and thankfully not harsh.

Clear pale yellow color with a thin white head. Aroma of sweet corn. Very sweet corn flavor, some hints of cereal. Feels a little wrong given that it’s in a bomber rather than a regular 40oz. Later notes: Upon repeatedly swigging this from the bottle (with the appropriate brown paper bag) i suddenly noticed that this produced a large frothy white head in the bottle that certainly was not noticed in the glass. Hell, I’ll give it another point on appearance solely for this.

Well not a good brew, but for the style... ROGUE tops it. Light yellow in color. Smells like a waste-of-barley-mass-production-lager! Great aroma of cattle feed. Taste is very sweet. I sense a hint of corn. Not a hint of hops, but just enough to balance out the mass amounts of malt I’m sure was used. Super-cool brew.

22 oz bomber. Aroma is sweet, but it has a spritzy fruit-like sweetness rather than the expected corn syrup or malt sweetness. Body is a murky brown yellow and holds a lazy dime thin white head that quickly fades. Fore is bitter and very much the way I remember malt liquor tasting...stale and sickly sweet, with some mild corn notes. I appreciate the effort, but this just flat does not taste good at all.

My son saved this bomber bottle for me. It needed more than a little help. The malt was there but left a cloying, throat clearing effect. The hops were there somewhere but didn’t seem to complement the malt’s effect. This one needs to go back to the drawing board!
