Commercial Description:
John is the first of a series of special beers from the brewers at Rogue Ales to be released each month in celebration of Rogue’s fifteenth anniversary. On the 15th of the month, beginning October 15, 2003 a new beer will be tapped at 15:15 hours (3:15 PST) at the five Rogue pubs. And each month a limited edition bottle, special tap handle, t-shirt, and pint glass will be released to commemorate each new or retro style beer of the month. Shirts, pints and bottled product will be available for sale only at the five Rogue Public Houses...Rogue-Trip! <br /><br /> John is a Harvest Ale -- brewed with fresh, wet Oregon grown Newport hops just hours after harvest. John is available in a special 22-ounce seriograph bottle and on tap at Rogue Ales Public Houses, but only until November 14, 2003, unless it sells out prior...whichever happens first... Details on Newport hops are in the September 6, 2003 issue of the Rogue eNewsletter, available in text or Acrobat format in the rogue.com email newsletter archives. <br /><br /> Measurements: 16.25 degrees Plato, IBU 60, Apparent Attenuation 80, Lovibond 23.5.

Time in the bottle has weakened the overall bitterness in this strong ale. The earthiness blends well with the hop citrus flavor. Caramel maltiness also present. Johnny has a crispy flavor to it.

Light spiciness and caramel aroma, sweet malt apparent. Sweet like a light bock/heavy dort, hoppy like a pils with a nice balance of earthy-spiciness and just a bit of citrus. Nice.

Poured a medium, hazy/cloudy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas and tastes of citrus, lemons, flowers, and a little earthy. Dry finish.

Bottle thanks to Jeff (radiomgb). Quite excited to try this. Pour is a rich deep golden-blonde color, with some light rusty oranges and a big foamy white head. Aroma of bitter hops, fresh juicy bitter, acidic hops and maybe a touch of malt peeking through. Flavor is full, rich and powerful, the bitterness immediately takes over and while the sweet malt tries to keep up, the hops overpower. Though it’s overdone and extreme, the hops do taste incredibly fresh, especially seeing as how this was released 13 months ago. Great consistency as always from rogue, low carbonation, creamy body. Strong strong beer here.

Bottled, thanks Dr.Bill! Cloudy orange, creamy head. Dryish,yet fruity. Salty and solidly malty with soft mouthfeel and bitter grassy finish.

Good ale. Gold colored and slightly hazy. Pours with a frothy white head which settles to just a very large head. Bitter piney aroma mixed with undercurrents of sweet pale malt. Tangy mouthfeel, bitter. Finish is dry and bitter.

Very attractive orange colored brew with a big off white head that has good retention. Aroma is very balanced. Some hops, some malt, and also an aged smell. Initial flavor is lightly hoppy then the malts take over. I too experienced the big hop spike in the finish that others noticed. Good, not great.

Rogue Nation, San Francisco: Served from a cask. Beautiful topaz color with no head. faint swet aroma with only a hint of butter. Smooth start with malty/buttery taste and a sharp hops spike at the end.
