AAA gets a VG.

A year round amber/red ale from Rogue, the American Amber Ale (AAA) is milder than some of the previous Rogue Ales beers in this run.  Although it’s hoppier (spell check doesn’t like “hoppier”) than most amber ales, the hops (Kent Golding, Cascade, Rogue Micro Hopyard Revolution) are not overwhelming.

Don’t you think the guy on the bottle looks a little like George Clooney?

So let’s recap the Rogue’s Gallery so far…

Captain Sig’s Northwestern Ale	80 IBU	6.20%	G
