My grading scale

It is subjective, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from:

1-3 "Horrible" : NEVER BUY THIS!!!! (Or buy it just to see what crappy beer tastes like.)

4-5 "Ok" : These beers need a little work. Usually from a company known for another type of brew.

6-7 "Good": It's ok, for now.

8-9 "Great" : Try this at least once, you'll be happy you did :D

10!!!!! "Godly" = This is attainable, but the most subjective of all grades. If I ever give a beer a 10 it'll be because it blows your mind.

Rogue Yellow Snow IPA

Long time...I've been drinking, but for myself.  Here's to me.

Look/Smell - Picture doesn't show how hazy it is, but it is.  I took pic b4 the last, bottom of the glass swirl.  Very carbonated.  Smells like a sweeter IPA, can't wait to down it.

Taste - Has a good citrus sweetness, like lemon in the background, way way in the back of the class.  Hops, bitter hops are in front.  It's like a snow storm in your heart, a bulldozer running through your feather bed. These have nothing to do with it, just nonsense.  I kid again.  It's bitterness is the strongest thing I've had.

Rating - 6
IPAs are bitter, but this ones the most bitter.  Try it for Rogue's sake, but leave it for another IPA.

Chatoe Rogue

It's been awhile....it sure has.  So, this is the medicine that's going to put me to sleep tonight.

Look/Smell - Very dark, as dark as they come.  Burnt chocolate, but a good amount of hops too.  A little bit sweet, like dark chocolate covered cherries.

Taste - Deliciously black.  Coffee on the after taste.  The choco-cherries are on your lips.  It's medium thickness comes in halfway through...it builds as you taste.  This is a nice balance between coffee and chocolate, sweet and bitter.

Rating - 9
When it's this dark many things can go wrong.  This one is ALL-RIGHT.
