TLDR Beer Club

RDH,

Sounds good, but no guarantees on my spelling in the TR. I was feeling pretty good after just 2.5 of these.

All,

I'm back with another winter ale review. Up this time is Rogue's Santa's Private Reserve. Based on the description on the bottle, it figures to be another red, hoppy ale. I paid $2.25 for a 12 oz bottle.





The beer pours nicely red with a good head. It smells hoppy, mostly of the flowery variety instead of the citrus. Taking a sip, I'm mildly disappointed. It's not as hoppy as I was expecting. The malt is tasty, but not as bold or lingering as I would have hoped. There is a little bit of woodiness in it that I like. It's a pretty decent beer, but I prefer the SN Celebration and the Arrogant Bastard. I'm awarding it [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img][img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and a half [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
