Rogue Rebel Hop

I'm afraid i didn't really get a chance to try any new beers this week, after having to head back to the salt mines after our trip to San Francisco.  But, i did get to try a number of beers while on my trip, and Rogue Brewery's Rebel Hop was easily one of my favorites.  It's an American style IPA that was smooth enough to down (quite) a few, but just hoppy enough to let you know what you're messing with.  Added with the hop flavor, i want to say was a hint of apricot that worked marvelously.  I want to drink this beer again, although unfortunately from what i understand, it was a one-off only served on draft, and only available on the West Coast (as Rogue is located in Oregon).  So, to any of my friends in the Pacific Northwest (you know who you are), grab a pint of the Rebel Hop before it's all gone.

And when in San Francisco, be sure to pop into the Rogue Ales Bar at the corner of Powell and Union.
