Rogue Kells Irish Style Lager

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Premium Lager
Newport, Oregon USA

Pours a lightly hazy gold color with a medium light tan head. Smells a bit grainy, with touches of mil citrus fruit, and a little corn in the back end of it as well. Smells like a lager. Tastes pretty much the same, grain, subtle hops, maybe a little orange zest, and corn all blend together. Pretty decent to drink on a hot day outside like I was, but certainly not full on flavor. Doesnt exactly make you want to come back for more. As far as premium lagers go, I guess it wasnt bad.

Light peach in color. The Sterling hops bring forth a lovely floral and citrus scent, which match well with the other fruit elements (peach, pear). The flavor is fairly light overall, but what it does bring to the table it brings quite well. The hops are mellow, but still fruity and spicy and while the malt flavor is subtle, it’s still pretty silky and fruit filled. Very tasty.

Pour is a golden with a small white head. Aroma is hard to detect some malts and a wheat smell. Flavor is bland and lager boring. Nothing really going on here and this is an average at best lager and that ain’t saying much.

Hazy gold pour with minimal head, and very spotty lacing. Nose of citrus hops and malts. Hmm, lemons in the flavor along with sweet malts. Smooth palate and a lemony finish. Almost reminds me of a pilsener. Not bad, nothing to get excited about though.

Ahhhh, if only all american lager tasted this good. Pours a nice golden yellow color. Aromas of grains, hops, and some yeasty notes. Flavor is crisp corn, a little nut, and a nice finish of hops.

Rogue you SUCK! ...i bought this with good intentions after scoffing at the idea of a beer just 4 st.pattys day, well, it came down to this or shakespeare, not feeling like a stout i payed the SIX dollars for a bottle, real quick, no freakin head,below average smell,not to fizzy,kinda sour yet refreshing, better than bud light but why pay the extraordinary price to get this, rogue just wanted some extra money and i was dumb enough to buy this dime a dozen lager, Rogue, eat my balls!....is very drinkable but not for that much extra money, with the same amount of money i could have bought 3 heinekens,budwesiers,coronas whatver, but in the end a new beer i got to try that didn’t taste like complete shiet!

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.

Thin head. Reduces quickly but has great carbonation to keep a thin foam on top. Aroma of buttered corn, seaweed and malt. Color is a medium gold. Flavor is sharp. Little citrus and hops bitterness. Starts out creamy and malty and finishes dry and parched and hoppy/bitter. So-so.
