"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.

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.

Bottle. This reminded me more of an strong golden ale than an Malt Liqour. PAle golden body with nice head. Flavor has a sweet malty character to it. Light hops and a low vegetable character to it. Better than I thought it would be.

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.

Bomber. Aroma of sugar and malt - not sweet malt, sugar. Brassy gold color with a white head that’s not overly impressive. Thin to medium bodied. Nice level of carbonation. Unfortunately it has that sicky sweet characteristic of mass malt liquors. Gee, but it’s sweet. On balance there are some bitter notes. The sweetness is a bit reminiscent of a Belgian ale. There is grape, and perhaps honey, but the effect is not what one would hope for in an ale. It gets credit for making malt liquor drinkable. Seems a bit of a waste when the resources could have been used to make an ale!

22oz. Bottle: Smells of corn, banana, and cumin. Poured a dark-golden/urine color. Big creamy, frothy white head lasted throughout. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Flavor is kind of sweet. Tastes of corn, malts, and a little sweet fruit, with some hops in the finish. Tastes like a high quality malt liquor. Medium body. Oily. Soft carbonation. Short sweet finish. Overall, a malt liquor I could at least drink, unlike many others. Warming on a cool winter day.

22oz bottle-pours medium yellow with a small fizzy white head. looks like a true malt liquor. nose is sweet, lightly pheonlic with nots of plastic. Flavors show the sweetness, alcohol kick, and husky grain notes. this palate is pretty big, no wonder, its 7.2%. quite a bit of burn on the finish with aformentioned alcohol and adjunct. damn true to the style, but definately not a great beer. definately worth the try though.

Yellow color with a medium head. Aroma of sour corn mash. That carries into the taste with an oddly strong wheat backbone. Sweet and tart alcohol finish. Not the worst malt liquor by a mile.

This has a bit of pisazz, a hint of spicy mustard, some weet corny maltiness, and very clean hop flavors round out the flavor profile. Decent.

22oz bottle purchased at Whole Foods in DC. Clear yellow urine colored body, still, with little to no head. Nose is not particularily enjoyable, smelling of fuesal corn and sweet lemon wood polish. Flavor isn’t too bad, actually, moderate to high sweetness, some creamed corn flavors and the Rogue Pacman yeast covering the entire thing. Crisp, lively, hoppy on the tongue, however it doesn’t offer a lot to really enjoy, it’s basically simple.
