XS Old Crustacean
I had this beer on tap at lucky baldwins for their barelywine festival. Maybe I got a bad batch who knows. I had 2 taster glasses of this. For the most part I was disappointed and upset I had ordered two glasses. I am an all around beer guy- i love almost every style but this beer had to have some kind of problem. Rogue is known for awesome beers. I'll proceed with my review. A - A very dark almost red color beer. It smells a bit fruity, similar to a sour ale - S - A sweet fruity aroma. Unusually high fruity aroma. Smells like apples, mango, prunes, pears, too fruity. T - Great alcohol kick. There is caramel taste, fruity taste, extreme sour taste. A little sugary but mostly a fruity kick. M - Not enough sweetness. Too much sourness. Good alcohol kick. I can't keep this in my mouth. D - Not easy to drink at all, very fruity and tart. Not satisfying, very disappointing. Would not drink again, ever!
