Rogue Youngers Special Bitter

Bottle, no expiration date. Pours dark amber with huge head. Slight chill haze. Aroma is surprisingly light with hops predominating. Taste is a symphony of malt, toffee and non-cascade hops. This is really a great Brit style session bitter. Not so bitter your taste buds are toast after a couple of pints and interesting enough to drink a lot of. I’d love to get this locally on tap but then again its so tasty I'd need to get a designated driver.

appearance has a great amber color with a nice white head that drops fast. Aroma has a great hop smell with some malt to go with it. Taste is initially sweet than the hops kick in and bitter it down. Rogue makes some amazing beers.

Great hops!Good taste top to bottom.I believe this beer is better than its 80 oveall percentile

Cask, NERAX festival, Somerville, MA. Good nose, Carmel peach/apricot. Hazy brownish orange. Sweet and bitter. Orange, grapefruit, tea. Thin, litely oily, bitter fruity finish. Nice, easy drinking bitter

A very serviceable and competent ESB reminiscent of an IPA. Pours a clear copper color with a thin off-white head. Aroma of crackers and wet hay. Flavor nicely balances piney and grassy hops with toasty, crackery malt. A hint of lemon is also present. Nice, tight carbonation enhances mouthfeel. Good beer.

This beer looks beautiful. It has hints of pine in the nose. This is a beer that I would rather look at than drink. It is simply too bitter for me. But if you like bitter beer you will love this bitter beer.

Amber woth a hint of red. Small dissapearing white head. Grapefruit and pine in aroma. Flavour of grapefruit, wood, and toffee with a small hint of bread. Strong but a bit short hoppy finish.

Bottle. Great body for the style...not too light. Great hoppy balance at the end. Not too over the top at all. Good reddish-orange color and white head. Good from the bottle, but better on tap. Maybe a bit strong for sessioning.
