Rogue adds Batsquatch IPA and Outta Line IPA to Year-Round Lineup in Cans

Rogue Ales & Spirits is on their way to a slow moving entire brand refresh with the announcement of two new year-round IPA's in cans:  Outta Line, a bright, honey-colored West Coast-style IPA and  Batsquatch, a juicy, hazy IPA with intense tropical aromas and flavors.
More from a press release:

OUTTA LINE
Outta Line is a quintessential West Coast-style IPA that opens with tangerine and mango, balanced by malt sweetness and a crisp hop bite. “It’s a great West Coast-style IPA, brewed for those who ‘live outside the lines,’” says Rogue Vice President of Marketing Bliss Dake. “It’s our way of celebrating those who have the courage to do their own thing.”

BATSQUATCH
Batsquatch is a Hazy IPA dedicated to the half-bat half-sasquatch creature that, according to legend, resides in the woods on Mount St. Helens. The first hazy IPA in Rogue’s year-round lineup, Batsquatch features bold tropical aromas, flavors of stonefruit and tangerine, and a fruity citrus rind finish. “We’ve been brewing hazy IPAs for a few years now, perfecting them along the way,” says Rogue President Dharma Tamm. “After several rounds of refining, we’re ready to unleash this beast on the beer-drinking world. Get ready.”

“In the beginning, 30 years ago, we were told that nobody would ever drink Rogue beers because they were too hoppy,” says Rogue Brewmaster John Maier. “People started calling me ‘More Hops’ because of my love of hop-forward beers and I still wear it like a badge of honor.” Batsquatch and Outta Line aren’t palate destroyingly bitter, but they are intentionally brewed with strong hop character. “These beers are the epitome of their respective styles,” says Maier. “We hope people will enjoy and have as much fun with them as we do.”
