Rogue Youngers Special Bitter

Slightly buttery, faint hop aroma. Not much of a head. Good solid flavor, earthy hops and butter backed up with a nice heavy mouthfeel.

A brownish red appearance with little head. Flavor was slightly bitter with some caramel and oranges. Palate was a little thin. Overall this was pretty good and good representation of an English bitter.

Brownish-red color; aroma and flavor of grapefruit and malts; nicely hopped. Enjoyable brew.

Medium malt and hops, but little to none of the citrus from hops (maybe a bit of grapefruit). No head really... Nice color though, medium to dark amber. Gets better as it warms. I had some curry and came back to it and it improved a lot from the warming and the curry mingling. Floral scent/flavor comes forward as it warms. Not one of my favorites from the rogue folks.

Amber, with a small but fluffy head. Slightly citrus scented, but not overwhelming. A nice, stereotypical ESB flavor- it's above average, but not fantastic.

Bottle. Reddish amber classic "bitter" color. Has a homemade stale bread aroma with some floral hops. Creamy white head with very persistent lacing. Taste hits you with sweet caramelly malts and ample hop bitterness. Not too complex-thank god. a little fruity. Umm, sweet Goldings. Straightforward special bitter that is highly drinkable.

Very mild. Served cold, to be sure--too cold, perhaps. Big head, slightly hazy amber/copper color. This is sympathetic to the bitter style in the English fold, though in a Northwest way. This beer would probably be in the top 20% of English bitters by hoppiness. (on tap at Rogue Ales Public House, Portland)

Copper red hazy beer with a sweet caramel malt aroma with lite oranges. Fresh malt with a good balance of british hops (not as floral as their other beer), with a good balance and body. refreshing like breathing moutain air.
