Rogue Ales

This American IPA is a classic expression of the style, balancing a vibrant hop presence with a sturdy malt backbone. Rogue Ales crafts a profile defined by intense citrus notes and a resinous depth, reflecting its old-school heritage. The aroma is punchy and hop-forward, while the palate reveals a malt-forward complexity that supports a persistent, vibrant bitterness. Despite the Brutal name, the integration of hop oils and toasted grain provides a smooth, approachable experience. Its unfiltered nature adds a rustic charm, ensuring a lingering, crisp finish that highlights the bright, citrusy character and assertive bitterness typical of traditional Northwest-inspired ales.

Appearance. Medium gold to light reddish-amber (10-14 SRM). Slight haze present due to its unfiltered nature. Large, off-white head with excellent persistence and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Prominent citrus notes of grapefruit and orange peel alongside light piney resin. Supported by a medium-low maltiness featuring toasted bread and subtle caramel notes. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial burst of citrus and resinous hop flavor. Strong bitterness that is vibrant and persistent but lacks harshness. Supportive, malt-forward backbone provides flavors of biscuit and light toast. Dry to medium-dry finish with a lingering hoppy and citrusy aftertaste. Clean fermentation with minimal esters.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate to high carbonation provides a crisp bite. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth with no astringency.
