Rogue Half-E-Weizen (MoM Hefeweizen)

I really don’t like wheat beers, but this one is different. It’s much more full and hoppy than your average wheat beer. It has a very nice finishing hops in there... much more complex than your average hef. Good stuff.

Bottle. Orange colour with a slim white head. Aroma has oranges and coriander plus some honey. Taste is sweet, fruity, malty, some caramel with a herbal bitter finish. Medium bodied, quite highly carbonated. Good American Wheat; and whereas that can be something of a back-handed compliment, I quite like this.

Bottle. Small white head, pours a golden color, cloudy body. Aroma is yeasty and malty. Flavor is similar with some spice--coriander?? Citrus in finish with a small amount of hops.

Not one of my favourite Rogue’s. Minimal head. Chill haze gold. Inoffensive american wheat. I did not find the subtle spice flavours. It was almost generic. Pass the lemon.

[big bottle from LCBO] Hazy, golden brown with a big white patch of head that forms after the bubbly white topping recedes. Aroma full of caramel maltiness with a nice bit of piney hops, like an American pale ale. Fruity caramel flavour accented by subtle pine and citrus and just a bit of wheat sourness. Perfect balance of residual sweetness and bitterness that is not as dominant as I have experienced in other Rogue beers. Notes of ginger and corriander, but just barely perceptible. Everything about this beer is good and in good balance. Medium body with moderate carbonation and a nice clean-ish finish.

bottle. cloudy, white-orange, pulpy body (remember to agitate the bottle!!) with a small white head. aroma has mild fruit and spice along with cheesy yeast notes. soft carbonation. yeasty and quenching soft flavours. tasty though there isn’t a lot of spice but there is plenty of yeast and light fruit. decent.

Pours a very cloudy murky orange body with almost no head. Aroma is dominated by oranges. Citrusy. Flavor is the same, but almost sour tasting. Despite that, it’s one of the best I’ve had for the style, but I’ll take a hefe over this stuff any day.

Golden-orange beer with an orange core. No head, no lacing -- odd I thought, like a beer-ade of some kind. Palate is full and rich, with a long malt finish and a bit of rough carbonation throughout. Aromas are slight and wispy -- malts predominate, but there is also some clove and spice. A generous amount of hops greets the tongue. A mellow maltiness throughout -- nuts and toffee. A good amount os spice -- the ginger presence makes sense, but it might be too much.
