Commercial Description:
Rogue's annual holiday offering, Santa's Private Reserve, is a variation of the classic Saint Rogue Red, but with double the hops--including Chinook, and Centennial, and a mystery hop called Rudolph by head brewer John "more hops" Maier! This holiday elixir is brewed with two-row Harrington, Klages and Munich malts, along with Hugh Baird 30-37, Carastan 13-17, and Crystal 70-80 malts, plus free range coastal water and proprietary top-fermenting Pacman yeast.

Clear copper with a rocky brown lacy head. Aroma of caramel, pine, citrus and floral hops. Taste of caramel, citrus hops and alcohol. Overly bitter finish that seems to lack the benefits.

Bottle, Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a nice clear amber with off-white head, good retention. Aroma of grapefruit and caramel malt....Flavor of obvious hoppy grapefruit with bitter with slight sweet malt.....Palate is med. carbonation and med-full body....Overall, this is an IPA with amber color......it’s pretty good.
