HISTORY
In 1998 Rogue Brewmaster John Maier created an Irish style lager that would float Guinness. It took four batches to get it just right. John used acidulated malts imported from Europe that resulted in a crisp, apple flavor profile. The bottle label displays a famous Irish Flutist.

Bottle from ølbutikken. Clear Yellow, smooth white head. aroma is quite lagerish, flowery bordering metallic, with malty notes too. Hops are very european and not very strong. Flavor is malty, slightly flowery, metallic, pils hoppy. Decent pils type beer with a little more taste than the usual pils, also very slightly sweeter, however there is a sort of metallic note to the bitterness that I don’t like.

Sampled on draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA on 3/18/11. Pours a clear golden color with a thin creamy head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of sweet malts and faint caramel/toffeeish notes. The taste is nutty with toffee and a grainy finish. Medium bodied.

Bottle @ home. Translucent, golden yellow appearance with a small, white head. Crisp, pale, golden malty lager aroma. Light bodied, quite sweet, fairly crisp, pale malty lager flavor. Pretty boring and honestly doesn’t impress me much more than many of the macros.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a slightly hazy light golden with small bright white head that dissapates quickly. Aroma is fresh grain, medium body, medium carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is grainy malt, some cracker, and a hint of grass.

Incredibly boring beer from a usually inspired brewery. I know this beer’s label boasts about a serious apple-undercurrent, but any fruitiness on the palate is threadbare at best. Rogue’s Irish Lager has neither a notable hoppy streak or any true malt goodness, leaving a bland beer that, no shit, looks absolutely amazing. Seriously. My pint glass made me incredibly happy when I first got the beer, because it was a damn sexy beverage. Lacing, too. Just not very tasty.

On tap at the Vintage Estats listed as Rogues Kell’s Irish Lager. Big foam head. Very aclear ale, light and ubbly. First taste is very light and a little watery but not in a bad sort of way. Bready on the aroma. Would not even think there is alky in here, boy; it hides the alky well. Easy and friendly, would make an excellent session beer. Enjoyable session! Finish is happy and nifty.

Draught. Deep yellow pour with thick head. Aroma is grass and new wet veld. Pleasant hop and malt balance. A premium lager that is really premium.

Originally rated August 2009. Hmmm... a lager from Rogue. Interesting. Pours a yellow colour (slightly on the pale side) with a big frothy white head, that has decent retention, popping a bubble at a time, leaving some patchy lace. Carbonation is normal, with a medium size bubble, turning into a smaller one a little after breathing. Good barley malt nose with hints of hop. Again, Irish style lager, so does not have to be anything crazy, and this one succeeds in the taste department, with good bread and grains, and well mixed with the hop (more hoppy than most lagers) and notes of apple in the aftertaste. Very well executed to be non-offensive to most swill drinkers, but have a little more punch to it than most lagers.

650mL bottle, pours golden with a white head. Fairly standard lager here. Certainly one of Rogue's weakest.
