Rogue Half-E-Weizen (MoM Hefeweizen)

Pours a hazy orange with a fluffy white head with nice lacing. Aroma is musty, smells of spice and apples, ginger, and that unmistakable saaz smell. Tastes pretty much the same as the nose. This beer is not all that great, unimpressive and over priced.

Oh yea. Sampled on tap at Mo’s in Florence. Pours so thick and cloudy. Goes down really nice. Dropped in one wedge of lemon but probably didnt need it. Quite a brew!

Bomber. Pours a large, rocky-fluffy, white head with a hazy, honey-golden body. Grainy, wheat malt aroma with some doughiness and some orange peel. Flavor is...pretty bland with. Basically some wheat malt, but I don’t get much else. Light, thin, mineraly texture with lively carbonation and bitter finish. I think the mineral water qualities of this beer cover up some of the other flavors that are lurking below.

Bomber. Not so clear orange body with a lazy white head. Smells of wheat malt and has a light sour tang, spice additions are even fainter. Medium body is soft and lightly chalky. Mineral water taste. Lightly bitter, pronounced grass and floral tones, a little unwelcome sourness in with the mild citrus. Can’t taste the ginger, but there is a sort of bite at the bottom. Definitely enjoyed this, but I wouldn’t have nailed this as a Hefeweizen.

Bottle. They say it’s brewed with ginger and coriander, but I don’t taste it. This beer doesn’t have the creaminess that most hefeweizens have. Very typical. So far the least impressive Rogue brew I have tried.

Bomber pours a slightly hazed, pale gold body with a small white head. Minimal lacing. Decent aroma has wheat, coriander, and lemon. Light body is briskly carbonated. Taste has wheat, lemony citrus, white pepper, and coriander. I don’t pick up the ginger. A refreshing wheat ale that is ideal for warm weather, but nothing exciting.

Light wheaty aroma, a touch of sweetness and light spice. Pours hazy golden with no head. The flavor is spiced delicately with coriander, has hints of wheat malt, light sweetness and a relatively clean citrus finish. Drinkable and not unpleasant.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma has some wheat and a bit of the ginger. Flavor is some breadyness but i don’t really get any spice out of this. Just an average wheat beer and it has a few things going for it but not many.
