Rogue Seahorse Pale Ale

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: American Pale Ale
Newport, Oregon USA

Foamy head nothing impressive that stands out about this beer. Pretty good Pale Ale.

22oz from Big Red Liquors, Bloomington. Pretty average brew from Rogue, one sign among many that their creativity in naming and renaming is starting to exceed the quality of the beers themselves. Decent looking but anonymous, mildly flavorful, and appropriately balanced, this was an utterly forgettable pale.

Very tasty standard pale. Pours golden smooth with a nice head. Tastes sweet and reminds one of of True Oregonian Landscapes in Spring.

Aroma of light hop and citrus. Taste of medium hop but seemed hidden deeper in the taste. Light grain, and some earthy over-tones. I thought this was a nice complex ale. Would perhaps buy again. I liked this one more than the juniper ale.

Appearance: Pours a bright, clear yellow body with a meager white head. Smell: Pale malts with an aged quality to them. Fruity note of candied lemon peel. Taste: Light pale maltiness rounded out by a pleasant sweetness. Fruity citrus hop character with only a mild bitterness remaining. Sweetish finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Believed to be a bottle left to fend for itself many a year in a cold, dark cellar. It was worth the wait.

Poured orangey yellow. Not too exciting. A quaffable light pale ale. Finishes dry.

Pours pale yellow w/ good sized white head, decent lacing. At first, I didn’t like this beer, tasted dusty, old, but then I had to leave it for about 40 minutes and when I returned it was 65 degrees and much better. It lost the dustiness and brought out some nice malt sweetness. Light hop presence remained the same, should have more. At first, mouthfeel was harsh and carbonated, but later it was much easier and smoother.
