Rogue Juniper Pale Ale


Rogue just won Best Single Malt Domestic Whiskey. They boast that the spirit contains GYO (Grow Your Own) ingredients. In fact Rogue grew all the ingredients for both their Chatoe whiskey and beer. Appreciating everything barrel aged I contacted the brewer as no one is carrying it yet. Since they were going to ship it down I asked them to throw in a 6 pack of Juniper Pale Ale. It sounded interesting, but was one of Rogue's beers that I hadn't seen in San Diego.


This is a great beer. Not an every day drinker, but tasty. I used to drink gin a lot and the Juniper in this ale really comes through. Sometimes with beers like this either the front or back of the tasting notes will be off balanced, but this was really well balanced.


I would definitely buy this again.
