Single Malt Ale (Rogue)

I got this blond ale at the Liquor Stop near my house. This shows even further how serious Rogue takes their product. This is created with their own malt and hops (GYO). We got a couple to see if it was all hype or good quality. I'm a fan of Rogue, so it's not too much of a risk.

From the Rouge site:

"Style: Blonde Ale      Food Pairing: Seafood, Hot & Spicy

 

Tasting Notes:

Single Malt Ale has a malty aroma and is deep golden in color with a dense creamy head. It is medium bodied with a lush rich maltiness from the Dare™ malt.

4 Ingredients: Malts: Rogue Barley Farm first growth Dare™ malts. Hops: Rogue Hopyard first growth Revolution Hops. Yeast & Water: Free Range Coastal Water and Pacman Yeast.

Specs: 12º PLATO 35 IBU 77 AA 10º Lovibond"

General Thoughts: Poured nicely with a rich head. Great, thick, lacing the whole time I was drinking it. Nice gold color. It has a light aroma. You smell a little malt and barely any hops, but it's there. You can taste the malt from the beginning to the savory aftertaste. It peaks near the end. I don't really taste the hops. Just a really slight hop bitter. The aftertaste makes my mouth water.
