Rogue Youngers Special Bitter

Taster at The mondial de la Biere 07. Amber color beige head, it has a dry herbal taste, very tart. It is not very bitter as I would have expected, no aftertaste.

Had this 22oz bottled as Summits Wayside Cliffhanger Ale by Rogue. Sweet malt smell, copper color, dry short finish - not as bitter as I would expect - the finish let me down on this one. k-6

Stopped by a Kroger after work to grab a frozen pizza and a sixer of Dortmunder Gold; and much to my delight I found this and a few other Rogues that I hadn’t yet rated. Lovely nose of flowers & dried fruit. Pours an amber copper. The large mostly diminishing off-white head is creamy and leaves light lace. The tangy start indicates a high acidity. The deep and complex finish is mostly dried fruit. The medium body is dry and very lively with a crisp feel to the finish. A very well done example of my favorite style.

Dark gold pour with big off-white head. Good hoppy aroma. Flavor is hoppy, yet mild. Body is medium, middle is somewhat lackng. The balance is there, yet almost seems like a lack luster finish.

I just bought a bomber of this Bitter, and it’s FUCKIN’ DELICIOUS!!...the bottle reads Summits Wayside Cliffhanger Ale by Rogue...after some research, it brought me here...at 4.8%, I COULD DRINK THIS ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT!!...I tell ya what...these ESBs and IPAs are really dukin’ it out for my favor....

I can smell the hops. They smell so rich and wonderful. The beer pours a pale orange/gold color that looks really nice. This beer looks and smells pretty good. The flavor is a little lacking, there is not that hoppy flavor that I was looking for. The beer does have a somewhat sweet finish. The palate is not too thin, but it is not rich, and the hoppy taste is very mild, I was hoping for more AHHHH. I was hoping for something a little more bitter that brought out the hops, but it is not bad. I know I have repeated this a few times, but I love the great hop flavor. A nice thin beer that would do wonders after a workout. Decent brew.

22oz bottle, hazy amber hue, with a white head, but falls quickly, biscuity malt nose, with a light nutty note, a faint toffeeish accent, with some floral citrus hops, in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with some biscuity and toasted malts, with a faint citrusy accent, with a mild bitter flowery hop character, with a smooth toffeeish and nuttiness note, leading towards a citrus hop bittering finish.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Amber coloured with a moderate white head. Aromas of caramel orange peel and citrus hops. Flavour started with some fruity malt before a very long hoppy finish. Very good and the best of the Rogue beers sold briefly by Sainsbury’s.
