Rogue Half-E-Weizen (MoM Hefeweizen)

22oz. Pours a hazy yellow/orange with a white head. Nose is mostly spice with coriander, ginger and banana coming to mind. Body is like eating a mouthful of lemon zest, mostly bitter and grainy herbaceous flavors. Mouthfeel was also a bit soft. This beer had no complexity and little redemptive features. I am thinking I may have had a skunky bottle and plan on re-rating this brew. I am also confused as to why they say this is "In the belgian style" but call it a hefeweizen.

pours quarter inch head that was bubbly and disappeared quick. cloudy orangina-like-color. smells of wheat and bananas. tastes like wheat and spices. citrus undertones.

Pours a cloudy yellow with a soapy white head. The nose is biscuity with lemongrass and not much else. This is beer is completely characterized by the duality of fruity esters and dry, biscuity wheat. The ginger barely comes through and the corriander is hardly detectable as well. The body is thin and the finish is short. This is a nice refresher with a zesty finish, but nothing to marvel at.

Slightly hazy gold pour with a fluffy white head. Spicy hoppy aroma. Mild grains, hops, a little tropical fruit

From bottle. Part of May beer tasting event. Pours near-clear golden with creamy white head. Minor lace. Weak nose with slight spice. Mild wheat, citrus and spice flavors. Not their best effort.

Hefeweizen? Um, no. This is too clear, too bitter, and lacks most hefeweizen characteristics. Decent beer, but totally missed the mark.

Bottle. Poured a slight hazed golden with creamy white head that left light lace. Subdue hop aroma with hints of spice. The flavor finds wheat, lemon and a spiced background. Light body. Very bitter for the style.

Hazy golden w/ big head that sticks around. Not much malt presence and overly bitter finish for the style. Hint of ginger.
