Santa's Private Reserve Ale
Now Quaffing: Rogue Santa's Private Reserve Pours a hazy amber brown with a fluffy, hop-empowered head that recedes with some nice residual lacing. Aroma is amazingly enticing with a surprising balance (this is Rogue here) between the malt and hop profiles. Taste is amber sweet at first with the expected dose of hops to follow. There is a medium body and somewhat mellow mouthfeel which increase the drinkability. The hops linger somewhat on the palate. Overall, another fine ale from Rogue. Surprisingly, more balanced than usual, which is nice for a change.
