Rogue and North Coast Brewing Co. have joined forces with us to recreate a craft beer classic.
A hoppy citrus aroma radiates from this pale amber Barley Wine Ale. Its sturdy malt backbone is balanced with clean bitterness. Finishes pleasantly without overpowering.

Bottle @ Casa de Greg, picked up at Wilbur’s Fort Collins. Pours a hazy bright orange appearance with a white head. Lemon, tangerine, cookie, bready, lightly toasty, slightly juicy aroma. Light veggie, chewy malty, lemon, bready flavor that finishes a bit boozy. Not a big fan.

Bouteille 66cl via Ibrew2or3. BB 03/07/2014. Orangée, col blanc cassé. Arôme est malté, caramel restant dans un style purement américain, côté ester banane et starch de grains presque sur drêche. Garde une certaine note fraîche. Palais est malté, caramel pointe liquoreux dans un profil général restant assez jeune pour un barley wine. Le houblon vient donner une belle dimension et des pointes d’amertume citronnée. Le tout reste néanmoins corcé et les 10ù se font ressentir.

22 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a small off-white / beige head. Aroma brings out tropical fruits, especially papaya and mango, oranges, and some hops. Flavour brings out loads of tropical fruits (mango, pineapple and papaya), oranges, resinous hops, and some caramel. Extremely fruity, medium hoppy and medium caramely. Well-balanced, with low-to-medium complexity for a barley wine. A very fruity barley wine. Good stuff.
