(Bottle 65 cl) Pours a clear, fully golden with a small, off-white head. Very discreet maltiness in the aroma. Medium-bodied with some malt sweetness. Discreet, hoppy finish with a vague tartness. 020606

very mediocre beer in general. Per style I might saw its a nose above average. Pours a light golden with descent sized fluffy white head. Aroma is quite weak mostly consisting of light sweet malt, straw maybe, and a very small hint of fruit. Flavor brings out more sweet which I enjoy, as well as a light wheat and again light fruitiness. Overall a drinkable brew.

A unique approach to the lager style. The aroma is malty and lightly hoppy. The appearance is hazy orange gold with a medium head. The flavor is really nice. It has a light citrus flavor with a grassy hop and light honey. The palate is just right.

Smooth and flavorful. A light tangy sensation at first sip, hits with great malt and hops. Very enjoyable

<font size=-2>Frankenkitty’s second RateBeer poem

<font size=-1>There once was a lager from Rogue
that claimed to have spoke with a brogue.
    ’Twas better than Harp,
    but the taste wasn’t sharp...
I’m afraid Kells will ne’er be in vogue.

I was a little dissappointed with the Kells, as I’m usually a big fan of anything Rogue puts out. As expected, this was very similar to Harp, but a bit hoppier. It had a slightly crisper, more American flavor profile. It certainly did it’s job, but didn’t blow me out of the water; it ends up tasting a bit thin and has a somewhat dry mouthfeel.

Sampled from bottle. Pours gold with a faint haze and is covered with a scattered, thin white head. Aroma resembles caramel apples. Flavor has a faint sweetness with apples and bready malts. Pretty clean finish. Medium-full body and moderate carbonation. An easy-drinking lager, but a bit fruity for what I was expecting. Rogue can make a great lager, but this one is just a bit plain.

22 oz. bottle, from BevMo LaJolla. Pours clear golden with a large, fluffy head. Sweet malts, alfalfa and straw in the aroma - nothing special. Mostly sweet with lightly toasty malts, more alfalfa and other herbal notes, a bit of lemon in the finish. Light to medium body, moderate carbonation.
