Rogue Half-E-Weizen (MoM Hefeweizen)

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Wheat Ale
Newport, Oregon USA

22oz bottle - Pours golden with a big white head that stays well and laces the sizes of the weizen. Aromas of orange, some corriander, bubblegum, and bannana. Flavor is bannana, bubblegum, slight clove, some citrus, and a little spice. Palate was light and well carbonated.. Pretty refreshing and not bad overall..

Pretty disappointing hefeweizen. Although half-e-weizen may indeed be the better term since it does taste like hefeweizen mixed with a lager. Citrus aroma. Slightly cloudy, clearer than most hefes. Taste was just a bit too plain.

Nothing too great here. This beer has a citrusy flavor with some other odd notes in there. The head is quickly diminishing, which was nice as this seems to be a beer best enjoyed with a burger. A thirst quencher of sorts. In conculsion, this is a half arsed ale.

Bottle. Pale yellow with a small white head that disappears quickly and some sediment. Can hardly smell anything off this. Slight citrus and orange I guess. Can hardly taste anything either. Very, very light stuff. Seriously lacking flavor. Being a fan of wheat beers and a fan of Rogue I was very disappointed.

aroma is big time orange, citrus and ginger. im not detecting any corriander. flavour is ALL ginger. This is borderlining on ginger ale now. interesting, not great though.

on tap @ Coles Buffalo, NY. Pale somewhat cloudy yellow with fruity full head. Definately taste the ginger & coriander. Not the best hefe not the worst. Average

Pours a slightly hazy pale golden color, with a rocky two finger head that settles a to solid layer of foam, leaving behind a thin sheeting of lace. Smell; lots of citrus with lemons and oranges. I can also taste the ginger and coriander, but not so much as far as the wheat. Taste; the coriander and ginger flavors are little stronger in the flavor than they were in the smell, with lemon and orange peel. I get more of a wheat profile in the taste/palate than I was expecting, with a bit of hop bitterness in the finish. I’m usually not a big fan of ginger in my beer but it wasn’t overwhelming in this. Mouthfeel is light ot medium bodied, and pretty darn drinkable. Not a great example of a wit, but still a pretty nice beer that works well in hot weather.

Draught @ Rogue Brewer’s on The Bay, Newport, OR. June 2005. Pours a hazy golden/yellow color with a small white head. Sweet malty citrus aroma with some hints of coriander. Sweet malty flavor with some hints of citrus and spices. Malty wheat finish with some citrus hints.
