Thirsty Thursday is here!!!!

Okay so it's Thirsty Thursday which means it's time for our regularly scheduled Beer Review. Since blowing a hole in his roof with an negligent kegcharge he has sampled quite a few frothy brews while repairing said roof. Keeping that in mind I think he may have done it on purpose as an excuse to sample more beer without the wife catching on. At any rate before my speculations turn into a rant of their own, I present to you this weeks beer review!


Rogue
Juniper Pale Ale
American Pale Ale/Herb & Spice Beer
5.3%ABV

I tend to gravitate toward beers with unique ingredients, and something brewed with Juniper certainly fits the bill.  

Appearance - A soft pale yellow with a delicate bright white head with lacing that lasts quite a long time.

Smell - Sweet and remniscent of Honey & Lemon, with a nice piney background smell.  

Taste - Soft Sweet Honey & Floral notes to start, moving to a Piney Hop finish, I suspect lots of this is from the juniper as well.  

Mouthfeel - Slightly Syrupy & Pillowy with a sticky finish.  Very smooth & easy to drink.  

Overall - A very interesting and unique beer and certainly one of the better beers I've had with a unique adjunct.  It's very easy to drink, but suprisingly filling as well, very easy to overdo it!  I should buy this beer way more often than I do.
