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.

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.

22oz brown bottle obtained at McKinnon’s in Salem. Pours a crystal-clear yellow body with virtually no head to speak of. Smell is anything but strong, but hints at cooked corn, grain, and a small bit of alcohol. Actually tastes good - baker’s cocoa and caramel take their place with husky grain, cooked corn, and just a hint of the alcohol. Light bodied as expected, with moderate to full carbonation. All-in-all, not a bad beer. Not something I’d get all the time, but for the style, it’s definitely one of the better ones (though not quite as good as DFH Liquor de Malt IMO) - reminds me of a tastier better-made version of Steel Reserve.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a thin pale yellow/orange color with no head or lace. Nose is malt, grains & an odd sweet smell. Taste has a sweet, almost fruit like quality ( white grapes ), malts, grains and a hint of corn. Nothing to go looking for. I only drank one to fulfill my malt liquor style.

22oz - Father’s Day gift. Nice brass colored liquid, white head, nice lace. Noce hinted at too much sweetness, which is what I found on palate. Distracted from the malt. Good, not great.

Draft at Mad Mex in Robinson. Interesting malt liqour, pours a pale yellow with no lacing and quickly diminishing head. Tasted like a jagerbomb or mendalbomb, very sweet and alcoholic with not alot of carbonation.

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."
