Rogue Überfest Pilsner

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Pilsener
Newport, Oregon USA

Not sure how old this bottle was, but there were only a few left at the store, so I bought them both. The beer pours out light amber color, hazy with an off-white 1" rocky head with spotty lacing. Aroma is Play-Doh, bready with a light fruity/apple juice note. Flavor is light malts, light bitterness and subtle apple and apricots. Decent enough, but rather boring.

Rather aged bomber. Cloudy light amber color. Aroma of peaches, biscuity malt; fruity and sweet. Flavor slightly sherry-like, with fruit, peaches, apples, honey, and almost no hops. Rather sweet and winey. Ok, but that’s all. Maybe need to get it fresher?

Bomber into pint glass. Firstly, I bout think expecting it to be an imperial pilsner... given the name. Thanks Rogue!... and I swore I wouldn’t buy anything Rogue again, and this is how they repay me. Let hops its good RA. Pours a clear golden with a copper hue and a small, fast fading (though not disappearing) white head. Smells much better than expected... pale malt and very fruity, almost like a belgian or schwarz... can’t really explain it that well. The flavor is just as good. I initially gave both the aroma and the flavor 7s, but had to bump them to 8s. Medium to light body with meidum to low carbonation. Great balanced nice mouthfeel. Overall: this stuff is actually very good. One of the best, most unique pilseners I have ever had. Soo drinkable, so fresh. I want to try this fresh on tap at the brewhouse.

10/21/2007: Rogue Über Pilsner pours a cloudy yellow color with a foamy off-white head that leaves good lacing effects on the glass. The aroma is malty with a hint of noble hops. The flavor is very much the same with a moderate level of accompanying bitterness. This medium-bodied beer is heavier than expected for a Pils, but it is still a pretty good beer overall.

1 pt. 6 fl. oz. bottle (13° Plato, 6° L, 75 AA, 35 IBU) from Jungle Jim’s International Market in Fairfield, Ohio. Rating #394 for this beer.

Pours straw/gold with a white head. Smells of dry malt and sage. Tastes of dry malt and spicy. Decent.

22 oz bottle from Party Liquors (Steger, Il) opened up for cooling purposes and rating. Pours a hazy golden pour with a few peeks of amber and decent white bubbly head. Aromas of pilsner malts, typical touch of funk, and some nice biscuity malt with good bittering hops. Smells balanced enough. Taste is similar, a little lighter in body, but still some decent maltiness balanced with flowery hops. Feels very rogue in taste. Finishes well, very sessionable. Nothing to write home about though. Cheers!

This beer poured a beautiful golden/yellow color with a nice white head that did not last long. The aroma was grassy and a lemony citrus smell. The flavor was also of citrus and grain with some balanced hop bitterness. This beer had a good mouthfeel with proper carbonation. This was drinkable and I enjoyed it.

22oz bottle. Poured with a thick white head on a cloudy golden/orange body. Crisp aroma of malts, grass and flower hops with a hint of lemon.Sweet malt body, with hints of lemon and wheat flavor. Medium bitterness hangs around through the finish. Medium body with low carbonation. Agreat example of a true pilsner.
