Rogue Half-E-Weizen (MoM Hefeweizen)

My 100th wheat beer. Also celebrated breaking the 6 minute mile for the 1st time in 25 years. I’ll have to keep my running up. Poured a gold color with a white head that left quickly. Along with the lemon, the other spices were prevalent but not over powering. The slight bitterness at the end was not overly hoppy which was good.

22 oz bottle obtained during vacation to Oregon. Better than I had expected. Usually an American Wheat is so bland compared to a good Hefe. This one was pretty good. Lots of citrus aromas. Flavors were spicy with more orange and lemon flavors. Decent stuff.

Golden orange with good foamy white head / Floral, honeyed nose / Light to medium body, modest carbonation, with decent dry finish / Flavors of honey, violets, oranges, and coriander / Well made, but not a stimulating flavor palate.

Poured a hazy yellow/ orange with a thin sturdy head. The nose was wheaty with clover and coriander. The taste was grainy and had some straw aspects present as well as citrus hints. The lack of banana/clove presence was a refreshing change. A highly drinkable and refreshing wheat beer, not thick or heavy by any means.

Had this on draught in Wheaton, Illinois. Clear, medium yellow pour with a fizzy white head, sweet malt and hay in the nose, with fruity cereal and grains. Finished tart. Very unusual. I almost thought I got the wrong one, it was so unlike what I was expecting.

22 oz bottle. Pours a hazy orange with an airy head. Wheat grass aroma, but a bit pungent. Flavor is fairly mild, but you can taste some pepper and lemons. Mouthfeel is light and a bit of a hoppy finish. I would have never guessed that there was coriander or ginger in this beer, because it is undetectable. Not the best wheat beer out there, but refreshing.

22 oz bottle. Aroma is wheat and hop. Pours a cloudy dark orange with a thin white head. The taste is orange and wheat, but finishes hoppy and bitter.
