Rogue Integrity Ale

This is brewed in honor of the 25th Anniversary of Rogue Ales of Newport, Oregon. This beer uses Rogue Farms Dare, Risk and Maier malts, along with Willamette and Rogue Farms Rebel Hops.

The beer pours orange honey golden to light copper in color. There is over an inch of thick, creamy, foamy off-white head. It does leave rings of sticky lacing down the glass.The aroma is malty, malted barley, touch of honey sweet, orange, a touch spicy/herbal. The taste is fairly true to the aromas, hitting all the same notes, and then barreling to a surprisingly bitter finish, fairly dry. It drinks smooth, medium-bodied, with refreshing, but not overdone, carbonation. Not sure what the style is supposed to be, tastes like a nicely done British-style pale ale to me.
