Oh my God that's good.

I exclaimed as I took a sip of Rogue's St. Rogue Red Ale. It's a red, and I'm not too fond of the malty beers, but the huge print of "DRY HOPPED" drew my attention to the bottle. I love Rogue's Santa's private reserve, which I've heard referred to as a double St. Rogue Red, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Wow. I thought Hazed and Confused had some dry hopping going on....this is delicious. Not overly bitter, the dry hops add a wonderful flavor and aroma, balancing the malty red. This beer is very good and like a darker double IPA has both body and an ample amount of hoppiness. Go get yourself some, and also look for Rogue's Brew 10,000 celebrating Maier's 10,000th brew. With IBU's at 83 and 10% alcohol it's sure to be a winner.
