Rogue Half-E-Weizen (MoM Hefeweizen)

Bottle. Hazy straw body with a thick white foamy head. The nose is awful. Smells like burnt hair. The taste is much better than the nose, but it had nowhere to go but up. Slightly acidic mouthfeel with a bile like after taste. I will not be having this again.

A palate cleaner of bold lemmony orange wheat. A bomber of it, which requires a drinking buddy or two. Too citrussy for a first beer in a session. Hoppy more than wheat aroma. Wheaty beige looks. Coriander, vanilla, banana,.

Dark gold in colour with a bit of yeast haze. Aromas of Munich malts, ginger, spicy hops, and a bit of grapefruit. Not much wheaty flavor, mainly the typical Munich-y Rogue malt flavor. Lots of ginger flavor there too, with a hint of coriander. Surprisingly bitter for the style. An interesting take on the wheat beer thing.

22 oz. bottle. Hazy golden colour with a huge mostly lasting frothy and rocky off-white head. Coriander dominates the aroma, with light ginger, clove, banana, lemon, and yeasty notes present. Coriander flavour initially, then gives way to an herbal, floral, and spicy bitter finish. Medium to full bodied, very refreshing.

This should be raed higher than it is. This was quite tasty. Citrusy and doughy aromas with a destincy orange flavor. Subtle and very drinkable. I think the power is in it’s subtlety. Very nice.

Darkish orange haze and no real head on it. The aroma is a sweeter malt and a lighter hoppy citrus to it. The flavor is very much the same, sweeter malt and a bit of hop presence. Not a terribly strong beer flavor wise, and the palate is viscous and thinner. Decent beer, but nothing too memorable.

Pretty pink-hued light amber body. This beer has a wonderful aroma of rose petals, sweet plant stem juice, and citrusy hops. Playful flavor of those same rose petals, coriander, and this time "ruddier", more herbal hops. Very enjoyable beer!

660ml bottle from onlyfine beer in Hoegaarden 33cl glass. My favourite wheat so far. First pour darkish orange, hazy, diminishing off white head. Aroma of the usual wheatbeer things, banana, cloves, vanilla, orange, strong coriander, and unusually (in my euro-wheat experience) a pronounced lemony hop character. Good medium body. Finish long and citrusy hops. 2nd pour cloudier, more lasting head, add yeast to aroma and taste, hop character still there but more balanced in with the other characteristics. Very, very good. I’ll need to order more! (Thanks, Gavin)
