May 31, 2006 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.

May 22, 2006 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.

May 22, 2006 Smooth and flavorful. A light tangy sensation at first sip, hits with great malt and hops. Very enjoyable

May 22, 2006 <font size=+1>Rogue Kells Lager
<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.

does not count  May 17, 2006 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.

May 14, 2006 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.

May 11, 2006 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.

May 10, 2006 Clear golden color with a white head. Aroma of sweet malt and a little hops. Grainy malt flavor. Long finish leaves you feeling dry and thirsty.
