Nice golden orange tinted with a decent head that gives a lace trace. The nose is wide open with a push of sweetened malt that is topped with a chunk of smoked fruit and peppers maybe even some wood smoke, but still rather mild. The taste begins smokey and melts out to several stages of malt character and rounds out with some hop before coming back to smoke. The body is thin enough to make it an easy drinker but substantial enough to make itself known. A good drinker to mix in.

Serving type: bottle

On tap at Rogue brewpub in Eugene, poured into a pint glass.

A-Pours a dark golden amber, slightly opaque. Has a very thin top of off white head, visible lacing.

S-Smoked oak, caramel malt.

T-Sweet caramel malt, campfire smoke, slight hoppy bitterness. There's even the smallest hint of sour granny smith apple.

M-Light medium body, very light carbonation.

O-Pleasant smoke ale with light balance. The smoke flavor isn't overwhelming and I'd prefer more of it also more carbonation.

Serving type: on-tap

Rogue Smoke Ale

LOOK: Clear copper colored brew. Slight off white foam cap. Displays a fine clarity.

SMELL: Smoked malts, bbq, charcoal, cured meats.

TASTE: Rich smokey flavor, earthy wood flavor notes come through as well. Charcoal, bacon, burnt toast. There is a mild but complimentary bitterness. Slight tang. Very smokey.

FEEL: On the light side of medium bodied, well carbonated. Smoke flavor sticks to the palette and does not let go.

OVERALL: A nice smoked beer, solid flavor, ideal for a smokey bbq outdoors. Would go great with roasted pork.

Serving type: bottle
