Rogue Half-E-Weizen (MoM Hefeweizen)

Bottle: Murky gold color with a small white head. The aroma is full of soft wheat notes and perhaps mild pickles? I also notice far off hints of cardboard. The taste is kind of soapy, but also has floral and mild yeast flavors as well. The finish is interesting, kind of leaving a thick watery feel in your mouth. The aftertaste is not that pleasant to me, but perhaps to American wheat lovers it is. This is one of 3 or 4 beers that Rogue makes that I don’t really like.

Golden colored pour. Lemon grass scented. Flavor is kind of dull and thinner than I expected given the style percent score. I actually detected some mint? and pine while tasting this, kind of odd. Easy drinking but not really my cup of tea. IMO there are better American Wheats out there, but each to their own.

Draught. Pours pretty hazy with a light gold shade. The aroma is very floral and vinous with mild musty scents. The floral qualities come to full head on the palate. I found it to be rich of hibiscus and herbs and quite drying with notes of apple peels and a tame papery hop profile. Not the best Rogue offering, but definitely unique.

A cloudy orange, tangerine look. Corriander, orange nose. A nice mix of wheat, lemon, and spice. Not one of my favorite Rogues but still good.

pale cloudy look to it, wheaty little citrus. Least fav of all the rogues i have had so far

On Tap at Rogue Brewer’s on The Bay Newport OR. pours out a hazy yellow. Aroma of citrus overall a normal hef to me.

On tap, this pours somewhat clear and golden. Some wheat and faint citrus on the nose. Some wheat and sugary sweetness to this half attempt. Needs much more wheat and flavour.

Pours a cloudy gold without almost any head. Orange and wheat aroma. Some sort of sugary candy in there, can’t quite place it, might be some type of fruit. Flavor is sweet, palate is ok.
