Outta Line IPA
Rogue Ales

Copenhagen 17/8 2019. 35,5 cl can from Voldby Købmandsgård (Web-shop). Some crazy Penguin with a Rocket backpack on the can passing over long line of Penguins transporting themselves in a more conventional manner.

Pours unclear, golden amber with a fairly small white head. Settles as very thin, fine, almost transparent layer of foam barely covering the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is medium intense, fruity sweet and fermented and with lighter citric notes. Peach, Mango. Hints of decay. Honey sweetness. Citrus and Grape fruit in the background. Surprisingly strong presence of alcohol when I take the moderate ABV into account.

Medium strong carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, slightly sticky, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor has a strong sweetness followed by a medium strong, citric bitterness. Aftertaste is quite sweet with a light citric sour undercurrent.

Nice one. Almost reminds me of a DIPA.

Another good beer from Rogue Ales, fruity and citrus with a nice hop flavor that is not too bitter. A little malt body and sweetness. 66 IBUs Rated 7-16-2020

 

Can from Brewers Haven. Orange golden with a soft, creamy head. Caramel malts feature in the aroma. Taste is sweet with a light bitterness, drying out at the finish. Classic.

Pours a copper in color with a foamy off-white head that dissipates to a thin layer of bubbles. Lots of lacing as you drink. Carbonation looks solid. Aroma hints at a pretty balanced IPA, although slightly hop forward. Mostly breaded, candied malts with a tropical hops. Flavor matches the aroma well, although it's decidedly hop-forward. Lots of tropical fruits and citrus with a solid caramel malt backbone. Finishes a bit dry with lingering grapefruit rind and caramel malts on the tongue. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, smooth and zesty with a bit of chewiness. Pretty easy to drink at 6.95% ABV. This is a classic, fairly balanced IPA that offers a great amount of complexity and an excellent tropical/citrus hop profile. As always, Rogue did not disappoint. I would happily seek this one out again. Cheers!

12 ounce can poured into tulip.

Pours a deep honey yellow with one finger of off-white head that leaves some Tennessee mountain range lace as it recedes.

Smells of bright citrus, marmalade on biscuits, mixed tropical fruit, wet stone, pine needles and leafy, perfumed hops.

Tastes of more breakfast biscuits with marmalade, orange slices, grapefruit zest, soft pineapple, mango and more pine forest hops.

Feels soft and fluffy. Medium bodied with velvety carbonation. Finishes dry.

Verdict: Highly recommended. Tasty and intense.

It poured a hazy copper colar with a white head that leaves nice lasing on the glass. It smells and taste of tropical fruit ( mango mostly to me). It has a nice body easy to drink. A good solid IPA to me.

12 ounce can poured into a tulip glass.

L---Mostly clear, dark golden color. Fluffy, off-white head with excellent retention and really nice lacing.

S---Pine, flowers and citrus.

T---Complex & balanced. Pine, floral notes and citrus follow from the nose with the addition of some caramel malts.

F---Medium+ mouthfeel. Amply carbonated.

O---A really nice WCIPA. And I thought that all they sold anymore were NEIPAs.

Pours bright golden with light white foamy cap. Notes of subtle mango and citrus laced with simple bold IPA.

A bitter beer with a sweet tang. Really delightful.

355 ml can, from Vinoble Frederikshavn. ABV is 6.9%, IBU 66. Gusher can. Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma of orange marmalade and piney hops. Refreshing flavour, some malty sweetness but not too much, citric and piney hops.

 

Average

 

 

Appearance: Pours light amber with a good-sized, off-white head. A slight haze is noted, no particulate.

Aroma: Hop aroma is citrusy and floral, yet still has earthy aroma sneaking through as well. Malt isn't easy to smell behind the intense hop aroma.

Flavor: Good balance of flavors, definitely leaning towards the bitter side (which is to be expected from a West Coast IPA). Flavor from the hops is mostly citrusy, and I still get a little bit of earthiness out of them as well.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, and good carbonation gives a really smooth mouthfeel.

Overall: A really solid West Coast IPA, good display of hops in this to provide great aroma and flavor.
