I don't normally eat at chains, but I ended up meeting "pseudoswambo" at a Ruby Tuesdays after work lastnight. When I asked what they had on tap, the only one beyond the usual bmc and bluemoon was Rogue Ale.
It was fantastic on draft...Even ms, "I was born in Ireland and weaned on guiness in the baby bottle liked it."
I've had a few Rogues before in bottles...I liked 'em, but there was something about it being on tap that made it a treat...
I asked the bartender which Rogue Ale it was...his answer of course was "Rogue Ale." There was no label on the taphead...
Trouble is, if you go to Rogue's website it's clear that they have quite a few different ales...(Considering the company is called Rogue Ales you can see why )
I went to Ruby Tuesday's site and it's only listed as "Rogue Ale" as well..
Anyone more familiar with Rogue's products been to an R.T. recently and recognized which of ROgue's fine beers it was?
I'd say it was in the red ale family in terms of color (But the light was kinda dim in the bar so I couldn't really tell... It was nicely balanced and crisp, but with a tasty hop bite in the finish... Not uber-IPA hoppiness...just a crispness at the end. It was full bodied and left nice "legs" on the glass.
If I could figure it out I'd definitly make this my "I'm out of homebrew" goto ale.
I think I'd even try to whip up a batch...
Anyone know which Rogue it could have been?
