Captain Sig's Northwestern Ale
Murky looking dark amber beer with slight dirty white head. Leaves sporadic patches of lace. Decent aroma of warm malt and light citric hops. Fresh yeast too. Flavor starts with a solid, if not mundane, base of caramel and bready malts. On top of that, I get glimpses of the Amarillo, Horizon, Cascade and Williamette, but not nearly as much as I thought I'd get in an 80 IBU beer. And the bitterness is not nearly as big as I thought it'd be either. Medium-full body. This is a good beer, don't get me wrong, but it's not making jump back on Rogue's high priced bandwagon.
