Rogue Kells Irish Style Lager

(22 oz. bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/massachusetts/westborough/julio’s-liquors/461.htm target=blank>Julio’s Liquors) Pours hazy golden yellow with a big foamy white head. Aroma of honey and sweet malt. Mouthfeel smooth, almost creamy as it warms, full, tingly. Sloppy spotty lacing. Flavor of moderate sweet maltiness with a somewhat bitter finish. Pretty good.

22-oz bottle. Pours golden, slightly orange hay and straw color with patchy white head. Aroma is sweet, lemony tea and yeast (grass), fruity hop and malt (straw, hay). Mildly bitter and acidic hop flavor, sweet sugary fruit, yeast and malt throughout. Medium bodied and clean, refreshing palate.

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a decent sized white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, sweet malts. Flavor is sweet, floral, carbonated, with a slight hoppy bitter finish. Drinkable but boring, not a very good example of a rogue beer to convert the macro drinkers.

Bottle from Spec’s

Nice to see a new Rogue offering hit the shelves of Houston. Anyway, pours flat and uninspired- dull, straw-like yellow with little head. Aroma is very banana-ish with hints of bubblegum. O’Weizen? Slight bitterness like a pilsner on the nose as well. Flavor is sweet and a tad earthy, like a nice meadow of flowers. Sour floral hints tickle the tongue. Straw, wheat, and bitter hops are also evident. Palate is silky. Very good beer. I’ll be drinking more. Nice, light, and crisp in the finish.

Pours a clear gold with large bubbles, and a modest yet fading head. Aroma is lightly bready and has a crisp spiciness from the european hops. Flavor is a bit weak, but smooth, more pils malt, bready, with a nice clean bitterness in the end. Ok, though I wish the body was a bit fuller.

Had this on St. Pats this year. Golden color with white head. Sweet taste but not much going on . Decent grain and hop tast but not complex. Good beer for a hot day.

Thanks Kevin. The beer pours to a golden body with a white head. The aroma is sweet corn, light silage. The flavor is actually pretty decent grains, hops, and corn. Decent palate.

Bottle shared by Kevin. Pale golden body under a fluffy white head. Lots of carbonation. Grass cuttings and dry pale malt in the aroma. Spritzy mouthfeel. Dry pilsner malt in the flavor with grassy saaz highlights. More of the same in the finish. Pretty uninspriing stuff.
