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.

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.

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.

(bottle - 22 oz) Slightly hazy gold color with no head and very light carbonation. Aroma is normal malt liquor. Corn, metal, gasoline, and some drywall. Very sweet beginning with dry hops and some sweetness that makes your stomach go a little funky. Finishes watery and like almost every other malt liquor.

Bottle. Gold with a small foamy white head. Smells slightly of corn sweetness and minerals. The flavour is sweet, within reason, accompanied by vegetal notes, caramel, and watery grain. Thin body. It’s actually not terrible.

Golden-amber in colour, fine off-white coloured head, some light lacing. The aroma is of light alcohol, quite sweet, pale malts, some apples. The flavour is moderatly sweet, noticable alcohol, sugar covered apples, some corn. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes with a lingering bitterness and some alcohol warmth. Not a great beer from Rogue but leave it to them to produce a Malt Liquor that I actually find drinkable.

650ml bottle from <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/new-york target=blank>Beers Of The World in Rochester, New York for $5.39.
Purchased on June 30, 2006 and opened on April 14, 2007.
No best before date.

Pours yellow / orange with small white head. The aroma has sweet corn and a corn syrup like sweetness - fairly smooth. Medium body with a little bit of carbonation. The flavor starts sweet with pale malt and corn - it is smooth and silky, but it comes off like a plastic taste. The finish has the same taste, but with a bit of alcohol showing through. This is very good for the style, but not a very enjoyable beer.
