Rogue Honey Cream Ale

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

Clear amber color with a VERY short-lived head. Sweet, hoppy aroma. Medium bodied, active carbonation on the palette. Sweet flavor with some citrus and malt. Finish came quick and was slightly bitter yet clean. I detected no honey. A dangerously quaffable cream ale, but incredibly one-dimensional. Not as good as expected, with the Rogue name and all, but it’s decent, and actually, a great session beer.

POurs a golden-orange color with a pretty nice little head that maintains on top of the beer, medium carbonation. Aroma is hoppy ans sweet, with just a bit’o’honey. Flavor is initially malty, with a honey flavor (but not sweet like most honey beers), nice warm malts, and ends grassy. Very refreshing!

Golden coloured. Some honey and flowers in the aroma. Cloyingly sweet flavour. Light bodied and thin.

Aromas of hops and honey. Finally a beer that says honey and actually has some in the taste. Also flavor of a mild ipa. Aftertastes of sweet and bitter. Refreshing; good for a hot day.

Appropriately honey-like in appearance with an ample white, sticky meringue like head on top. The smell is subtle, fruity ale yeast with a light bitter twang about the edges and flat malt background. Light yet creamy in the mouth. Hints of honey and sweet fruits in the flavor, silken earthy bitterness rounds it off. Nothing extreme here, just a highly sessionable creamy delight.

This is pretty good. However, I didn’t detect anything "creamy" about this beer. It was quite bitter. Hops seemed to dominate. I realize the quality in this. It’s just not what I expected from such a talanted brewery.

12 oz bottle-pours a nice golden yellow slightly darker than an american standard with a nice white rocky head that lasted the entire time. aroma of citrus hops and sweet malts. flavors are creamy textured hops with a good malt backbone for such a light beer. Im pretty impressed by this one!

Lively right out of the bottle, but quickly dead......orange/grapefruit/citrus, grassy, grainy aroma; acidic, dry, crispy yet light sweet, cream corn flavor; ......it’s no Genny ;-)
