Rogue Kells Irish Style Lager

Nose of wheat and spice, and until brew breathes, some sulfur. Pours a clear golden straw. The tight frothy white head is mostly diminishing with fair lace. The brew has a flowery, acidic, and bready taste. The finish comes through toasty like a dortmunder/helles. The body is light, water, and soft. Definitely not a stand alone offering, but would be acceptable at a cookout. The funky initial nose hurts the brew mostly.

Pour was palish yellow. Little head. Nose was grassy, sweet. Taste light, not really my thing. Father-in-law loved this .

Light pale honey yellow. Small, stark whitened cap of whispy smooth foam. Keeps an adequate collar at the edge and a broken skim arcoss the top. Small curtains of lace drape in a ringed pattern. Aroma is quite simple and somewhat floral with a sweetish fruit sided maltyness of pear, white grape, and apple and a nudge of crispy grain. Flavors are about the same, quite simple and easy; moderately lengthy with a few seemingly empty drags in there as far as the body goes. Sweet with a small grain tilt of crispness thats a bit like a Czech pils breadyness and rounded off in a light pear/apple-like fruityness. Has s light Sterling/Noble-like hop dryness going off into the finish with some leftover bready tones. As mentioned, the body and feel has a few empty areas that seem to take from the flavor profile a bit in places. Quite sad really, cuz with a bit more attention to some bigger body to fill in those gaps and this would be quite a nice brew to have more then a few of. A bit boring, but has and shows potential with a subtle complexity in some of the flavors. Otherwise, one of the more unmemorable brews from Rogue.

Looked rich and gold, especially next to a BMC. Aroma is sweet and really brings to mind a fresh field of grass. Not as impressive in flavor, but really easy drinking with no flaws.

Pours an orange gold with little white head. Smells sweet and sour. The taste is very sour and has that sweet sugar aftertaste. Goes down fast, but leaves a strange aftertaste that fades quickly.

Bottle Cane sugar and malt aroma. Moderately yellow color with moderate head. Light sour malt and moderate hops flavor. A very light beer for Rogue. Flavor is much more subtle - a bit too much for me.

Tap at Kahootz: Clear gold color with a fizzy white head. Malty wheat aroma with a soapy taste. The prolonged aftertaste is probably the best part after the soapiness wears off. My least favorite thus far from Rogue.

Not clear, no head, dull gold. Sweet honey and toasted biscuit aroma. Sweet round flavor profile lacking any crispness you would expect in a lager. Rather watery also. Not a well realized beer.
