Rogue Juniper Pale Ale
Juniper Pale Ale
Rogue Ales
Newport, OR
Beautiful dark golden color: They call it saffron.
Lesson #1-Don’t store Rogue beer bottles on their side. I did it with two and they both overflowed when I opened them. I think I may have started another fermentation. Looking at my perfectly sized glass I found, in our condo, I see yeast dancing around everywhere! This beer smells like freshly picked hops, thrown into a boiling wort.
Man this is a good, clean, crisp tasting American Pale Ale. Perfect malt profile contrasted with lots o’ hops, but not super bitter; great balance. Finishes nice and bitter like any ‘hops forward’ brew should do. You also find a touch of the juniper in the finish, but you have to pay attention. As usual, Rogue doesn’t disappoint. Delicious beer.
Saaalut!!!
9.4 bananas…easy.

Everything I’ve had by them is good……….with the possible exception of Chipotle Ale.
Had that one yet?
Yeah, same here. I haven’t had the Chipotle yet. I’m in Florida right now and I found a good beer store with that Juniper and a Rogue Half-a-weisen…both pretty good! (I also had some DH 120 min IPA and Raison d’Extra!)
