Rogue Mogul Madness Ale

Rogue Mogul Madness Ale, originally uploaded by mitchancona.

Ah those were the days...
Living at the mountain.... waking up each morning with nothing to do other than decide whether or not the snow was good enough to go make turns on.
Stopping for a lunch at the base lodge that consisted of hot water, ketchup and crushed saltine crackers... yummy!
At the end of the day scraping together a few buck to buy a beer or two. Ah yes those were the days.... the ski bum days. Funny thing is, no mater how broke I was back then I always had a smile on face and always manage to still drink good beer. Like this appropriate offering from Rogue. Pours a nice amber color with adequate off white head. Nice citrus hops on the nose. Those hops are balanced nicely by a rich warming maltiness on the palate. This medium bodied ale is the perfect end to a perfect ski bum day.
