![]() ![]() Would I share with a friend on a porch and set the world to rights? Sure to start a debate over what it is and where it fits, it’s not an IPA, and I’ve had other ‘Red’ ales that are different.Would I have another? I’m not sure that i’m that much of a fan.I like the beer, I’n not sure I’m enjoying the mouthfeel and lingering bitterness though. Am I enjoying it? I am odds with a yes and no on this.OR not a style that I’m comfortable with, it’s too bitter at one and with no middle and a finish that is too long. The style is confused and I ended up not liking the overly bitter lingering mouthfeel in this. I think that this is interesting but not accurate or on point with any particular thing it is trying to make. The pdubyah-o-meter rates this as 7 a of its things from the thing. I don’t get the warming malts in this at all. The bitterness is ‘strong’ and persistent in this and it leaves you feeling a little unbalanced, and thinking you are drinking an overly unnecessarily bitter beer. I’m not sure that there is a lot of balance in this. Nice grass happens at the front that is stern but also mellow, washes over the tongue and finishes slightly bitter, with a bit of linger in there too. Having said that it does pour magnificently and looks very ‘red’ in the glass, dark deep burn chestnut, and brownish foamy head as well, it’s turned itself around. What an adventure so far, and so I press on, what could got wrong?Ī more muted aroma on opening than I would have expected from an IPA type beer, I might venture that this isn’t the freshest version of the beer that you can get, transport distance and all that. Rogue’s Northwestern Ale, brewed for Captain Sig Hansen joins the Rogue family of World Class Ales, Stouts, Porters, and Lagers.ĭedicated to the Hansen Brothers–Sig, Edgar, and Norman–the Rogues of the Bering Sea. Originally a tweak of Eugene City Tracktown 100 Meter Ale, reformulated for release as Captain Sig’s Deadliest Ale ![]() Typically, redder in color than an IPA, with deep ruby hues” Sorted. So, I’m going to go with – Red IPA “American red ale brewed at a higher strength and hopped like an IPA. Now the last time I had an “India Red Ale” it was defined as “Amber Ale” – that would be the 8 Wired Tall Poppy but all you get from that is the style is not well defined and even possibly includes ‘ American Strong Ale“. However Rogue call this “India Red Ale”, but it might also be “American Amber” or “Red Ale”. The bottle contains 3.18 standard drink units. This is a 650ml bottle (22 fl oz), and the beer is 80 IBU, and 6.2% ABV, and 186 calories a serve size. In the classic style that is India Pale Ale (IPA) and they are in Newport, Oregon USA. Rogue Captain Sigs Deadliest Ale (Northwestern Ale) – Brewed by Rogue Ales I'll add pictures and tasting notes later this weekend.Deep red in color, this ale starts off with a floral, slightly citrus hop nose, hop flavor soon fades into the malty backbone of this red ale. I recommend a coarse grind, submerging in ~1.5L of boiled and cooled water (the best way to do this is pour the water over the coffee grounds in a sterilized container, waiting five minutes, and then stirring with a sterilized spoon to fully wet/submerge the grounds), and letting cold-brew in the fridge (covered) for up to 24 hours.Įstimated Color: 9.8 SRM (prior to coffee addition)ģ.00 lb American White Wheat Malt (21.9%)Ġ.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (3.6%)ġ Pkgs Wyeast 1764 PacMan (Starter Recommended)ġ.50 oz Cold-Brewed Kona Coffee (Bottling Bucket) A note on the cold-brewed coffee in this recipe - 1.50 oz refers to the dry weight of the beans used. If you've never tried Rogue Cold Brew IPA, do yourself a favor and track it down - it's one of the better beers I've tasted, and it's what made me a believe that coffee can work in an IPA. What's laid out here is version 2.0 of this recipe, which I bottled 3 weeks ago and will be tasting for the first time later this weekend (tasting notes will be updated then). I brewed an earlier version of this recipe the tasting notes, discussion, and potential tweaks to the recipe can be found here: I also added in some Simcoe because I felt like Ahtanum and Centennial on their own wouldn't quite bring enough to the table. Unfortunately, I couldn't get my hands on Horizon for this recipe, but since it's the suspected bittering hop, I replaced it with something clean like Warrior (Magnum would work well too) which I doubt will have a huge impact on the final product. So, this has been a project of mine for some time - I spent some time attempting to "reverse-engineer" Rogue's proprietary hop varieties they mention in their recipe for Cold Brew IPA:
