Still knocking down Rogue beers, I found some of the 1st release of GYO beers from Rogue. Single Malt Ale. SMA is a wildflower honey color with citrus lemony aroma. No head to mention. On tasting, the woody pine flavor comes through, not what I would consider single malt unless you hearken back to young scotch then I feel it. Little to no nose and the taste came before. Made with Dare™ malts and Revolution hops. I may revisit this brew and update with a fresh palate. This is the 1st of many new American only beers. I love the idea of on-site grown everything. That really pushes the definition of "microbrew". Abv 5.3% Nov 16, 2007
