Saffron Bistro Featured Beer Rogue OREgasmic Ale

Saffron Bistro's featured beer this week is Rogue OREgasmic Ale.   OREgasmic Ale is brewed with all First Growth Oregon hops and malt grown on Rogue’s own micro hopyard and barley farm. OREgasmic Ale is the third Chatoe Rogue release, following Dirtoir Black Lager and Single Malt Ale.

Tasting Notes:
Orange-amber in color, malty aroma, spicy fruity hop flavor with solid malt background and lingering finish.

Bryan Suntrup at Saffron says this featured will be short lived but he still has some Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA and he will be getting Hitachino's White Ale in this week to feature this weekend. 

Get yourself to Saffron to enjoy some Sushi and try these special Craft Beers!
Cheers!
