Year of New Beer: Brutal IPA, Rogue Ales (OR)

Written By: Dion on 09/04/2013

Even though Rogue's Dead Guy Ale was like a "gateway" beer for me, I've had a tendency to avoid their brews over the last few years as I have found them to be overpriced and underperforming. But how could I pass up a marked down $1.99 bomber at Jungle Jim's? I was expecting out-of-date and overly sweet; what I got was fantastic notes of citrus, apricot, and pine, with a hop bitterness that only grew bolder as the glass emptied. Solid beer, guess I should have bought a case.
