Rogue Youngers Special Bitter

Orange/amber with cream colored head. Smells of malt and floral hops. Seems a little watery. Overall a muted flavor - a blend of smooth maltiness and light hoppiness. Finishes dry and slightly bitter.

Hoppy slightly fruity aroma. Amber color with a smell head that retains very well. Hoppy start, little sweetness and a bitter finish.

This might have been an old sample considering the source, but I felt this came up a bit short. Thin and bitter wihtout enough malt backbone or hoppy floral qualities to make it appealing. Amazing head retention, though. And perhaps not as bad as all that.

Medium amber body with a small white head. It smells very good - a hint of sweetness that compliments the hoppiness. Hoppy flavor, but not as much as I tend to like in my bitters. But this one IS dry and bitter nonetheless.

This seems like much more of a true, British-style bitter than most American-made bitters - much more subdued hop flavors than most American hop monsters - however, that quality, along with it's watery finish, make this seem like a watered-down version of their Brutal Bitter - I love that beer, so this disappoints me - there is, however, a veryu enjoyable, chewy, bready, malt character to it that almost makes up for its shortcomings.

Deep amber in colour. Aroma of hops, grapefruit, flowers. Flavour was of medium bitterness, citrus, and slightly sweet. Finishes very bitter, hoppy, and dry. Thanks PhillyBeer.

Brownish dark color. Faint white head. Floral hoppy aroma. Very hoppy in the taste. A very bitter beer in which you must be in the mood for. Still a pretty decent beer.

Very faintly hazy amber orange colour under a medium sized short lasting head. Floral hops and light honeycomb malt and citrusy aroma. Mild but very creamy smooth body. Decent perfumed floral hoppy bitter start. Slightly sweeter middle before back to a dry bitter hoppy finish. A really nice bitter and it really want me to try to sample the Brutal.
