Rogue Youngers Special Bitter

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Newport, Oregon USA

good amber color decent amount of head nose is kinda mettalic hops, Flavor is definate hops but with a good malt balcance, very drinkable .

Apparently this is also marketed as summit cliff hanger ale, which these notes refer to. Tasted @ GDBTF. Pours a pale amber with little white head. Big malt sweetness on the nose, along with some citrusy hops. taste of caramel, darker malts, a little thin on the palate. Enjoyable.

Can’t remember where I had this. All the notes I could find were the name and some numbers.

Cloudy amber pour with a thin white head. Aroma and flavor of fruity hops and caramel with a bitter finish. The body is light and oily while the carbonation is soft. It’s ok but not too exciting.

Bottle sampled. Pours a cloudy amber with a light tan head. Aroma of caramel, citrus hops, and a hint of toffee. Flavor was moderately hoppy with light citrus, toasted malts, and some english toffee with a nice bitterness finish

-------- /> The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Poured a hazy amber/orange with a medium white cap. The nose was citrusy, earthy and had a hint of burnt carmel. The taste with an floral fruitiness with notes of grapefruit and honey. The finish is mostly malty and ends with piney hops. This is a probibly my favorite ESB, well balanced and a great session beer.

Draft at the Rogue Public House in Astoria - Poured a cloudy copper in color with a medium light tan head. Aroma was of citrus hops. Flavor was quite hoppy with a nice citrus/grapefruit. Some caramel malt to balance the hop bitterness. Excellent drinking brew...
