About
Rogue Ales was founded in Ashland, Oregon in 1988 by Jack Joyce, Rob Strasser, and Bob Woodell. Construction of the first brewpub began in June 1988 in Ashland. The 10 bbl brew system was set up in the basement with a 60-seat Pub above. The Brewery and Pub opened in October 1988 to moderate success and soon, the company started looking to expand. In February 1989, construction began on the Bay Front Brew Pub in Newport, Oregon; it opened in May1989. Rogue now has four brewpub locations in Oregon: Newport, Astoria, Portland and Independence, and a fifth at the Rogue Nation World Headquarters in Newport.

330ml can. Pours a clear brown with a decent brown head. Aroma is brown ale & mid malts along with strong nuts. Beer is just slightly off dry, smooth & easy to drink with moderate bitterness that sneaks up on you.
With so much hazelnut product being sweet this would be more mainstream if it was a touch sweeter but as is, it is a fine brown ale.

In der Nase schöne Blaubeeren, sehr fruchtig. Im Trunk herb, deutlich Blaubeeren, mittig bis spät bitter, trocken. Interessant. Für den Sommer nicht verkehrt. Auf jedenfall nicht zu süß oder gar pappig.

Can from Beerbox. Aroma is bready, piney, candy malt. Taste has a high pithy bitterness backed by a hint of candy like malt. At four and a half months old, not the freshest specimen. I’m really digging the bitterness, so it would be great to try it fresher and give it a more fair shake.
