Bottle. Malt has a straw aroma while there is a light smell of grass for the hops and there are moderate note of dough and leather for the yeast. Head is a frothy white with good lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is a clear light yellow. Mild acidic to start and a bit bitter in the short finish. Palate is light, watery with a lively carbonation. Not much else to speak of except that it’s light enough to have quite a few.

I’m just so wracked with excitement that I can barely keep my hands steady enough to pour out the Kell’s Irish Style Lager! "Irish Style Lager with a smooth mellow flavor and an apple crisp finish." That line on the side of the bottle is like an infection. And I’m coming down with it! Appearance: Pours a golden, slightly hazy body with a thin off-white head. Smell: Soft aroma of light grains, herbal hops, Granny Smith apples, and dried bread crusts. Taste: Mild malt sweetness, slight floral bitterness, and some dough-like qualities. All the while, there’s a vague apple-like fruitiness. Dry, faintly tart finish. Mouthfeel: Light-medium body with a spritzy, cider-like mouthfeel. Drinkability: Not one of the more memorable offerings from Rogue, and certainly not worth the Rogue pricetag for what is simply a glorified lager.

Bottle, 22oz. Hazy yellow color. Hoppy and fresh aroma. The flavor is hoppy with tones of sweet. The mouthfeel is a little thin. Overall a little bit boring.

On tap at the Rogue Ales Public House in SF. Pours pale gold with a thin white head. Slight buttery aroma. Perhaps this has a bit of diacetyl? A vinegar tartness is pronounced. Maybe the line for this one in the public house is contaminated? I get a bit of apple cider out of this in between the yuckiness. Very mild and low hop bitterness. Nice lacing.

22oz @ Coles Buffalo, NY. Just an everyday lager. Nothing real special. Just is what it is. Mission accomplished

Bad....not much to say about this one. yellow in color with small white head. Weak aroma and flavor. Not a good one to try
