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.

Very light in color, filtered. Strong foamy head. A little sweet with a strong aftertaste. Sneaky alcohol content, but probably nothing I would buy again.

Nice looking lager. Jeez, good thing I rated this before I got drunk tonight. Nice fluffy head with a gold and slight copper "glow" to it. Looks pretty good. Fluffy head stays around, even after a few minutes. Slight corn with a slight sweet malt aroma as well. Not a very promising aroma, but slightly pungent. Very creamy I must say. Tastes of sweet malt. It is not as offensive as the Hurricane or other malt liquors. A little more tolerable I must say. I have never been a fan of the malt liquors, but this one is atleast mildly tolerable.

22oz brown glass pry-top. No date. Appearance: Poured with some sudsy white head that faded rather quickly. Hazy yellow. Nose: Smells like over-worked pale malt, a light citrus note and something like cotton. Palate: Rather large body for the style with decent mouthfeel that quickly gives way to malt-liquor corn-beer flavors. Crisp and moderately clean, but sweet underneath the drying carbonation. Notes: Meh, it’s malt liquor. Is it better than Colt 45, yes. Do I really want to pay that much more for this instead of Colt 45 if I want malt liquor? No. Good gift for Dad’s day, other than that, not impressed.

Oh man...flashbacks of 40oz chug and ralphfests...probally some Big Bear or Extra Old Stock Strong in the giant bottles with the wide mouth top for quick chugging and out-of-this-world hangovers. Very clear dirty orange and a quick fizz head, this sucker keeps fizzing non stop. Zero head in seconds so it appears flat. Smells like your mom’s nailpolish, not mine. Malts. Sweaty and not good, but, compared to any other malt liquor out there (with the exception being Extra Old Stock) this might be the best smelling malt liquor around. Smells better and softer after a while. I can feel the headache comming already. I’ve also been debating at what point I’m going to sink this stuff. Strong lagers are never good unless you live inside a dumpster and you’ve found a small fortune of bent pennies and nickels in various parking lots and gutters. Taste is fairly clean, malty and a large ammount of noticable alcohol, but it’s still consummable without grimacing. Slightly sour yeast. Pretty straight forward. Mouthfeel is excellent. Light bodied, fairly smooth with a lack of overcarbonation (thank God), sour harsh bitter finish, but not in a bad way. Look, it’s Rogue so you expect quality and quality has been found here. This needs to be in 12 bottles though. No unwashed indian will steal 7.49$ to drink this. They’d spend it on 3 or 4 cans of Olympia instead. Specially made for sofisticated alcoholics like us. Never again. If I want to drink to get drunk, I’ll violate a bottle of La Fin Du Monde for the same price. If I was to compare this against other beers of its style, this may get five 10’s, and normally I would and I probally should, but this is malt liquor - the toilet of the industry. So I can’t. A re-review with the five 10’s will come when the Edmonton crew does the now pending 40oz tasting challange constisting of nameless bottles in brown paper bags.

From the 1 pt. 6 fl. oz. bottle with no lot number or expiration date noted. The pour is a slightly cloudy pale-amber with limited off-white head. The aroma has something sweet and sour but bold to it. The mouthfeel is about medium. The flavor has that element of malts but the pungent bite of alcohol shoots down my throat as a chaser. A pretty decent beer.

Hazy brownish yellow body and zero head was produced during the pour, it’s really a very unappealing beer to look at, looks like some kind of health drink. Nice aroma, very malty and a hint of hops and for Rogue to only add a hint of hops is a freaking miracle; nice pleasant aroma over all but it could have been more aggressive. Nice taste, good and refreshing, caramel malts and sweet hops comprise nearly all the taste. The brew is medium bodied and maybe just a touch to flat, a mild bitter after taste is left in your mouth after your done. A very drinkable beer it’s not fantastic but very enjoyable, I would buy this again."

22 oz bottle purchased the day after Olivia was born to celebrate her birth now that I’m an official father. Pours a golden yellow that is a slight shade lighter on the outer edges. Big bright white frothy head that leaves no lace. Aroma is sweet corn syrup, dusty grains and white grape juice. Flavor is harsh and biting with lots of cereal malts and some white grape juice. Ah, not really something that I’m enjoying but at least I knocked off the malt liquor style.
