Rogue Honey Cream Ale

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

Big fizzy white head and a nice fruity and slightly honey aroma. Lots of little dark flecks of yeast I presume. I don’t pick up on the honey taste so much. Its smooth drinking ale. Not much else to speak of, however.

Will have to re rate. Mine had a chemical nose and taste

I have had this beer before and it was sweet and creamy, as said in description, however, this time I was definitely not that impressed. It was overhopped, wait did I just say that, I did, never thought I would say that. Anyways, it was alright, but definitely not Rogue’s best. As I let it warm up, I can taste the cream and honey more, and it balances into what it seems like it should be. Orangish in color with a lack of a good head. All in all, not a bad beer, but not great by any means.

Tap in Newport, OR. Light golden yellow. Creamy and smooth with hints of honey. Sweet.

Nothing amazing here. So far, I had been fairly pleased with Rogue’s offering, however, this was far too hoppy for me. There were no real discernable elements of honey or cream. A nice hoppy pale ale, but not the best cream ale.

oh dopey me. had to try another rogue selection. i just KNEW they wouldn’t hop up a honey cream version, right? wrong. strange smell--anyone ever smell that weird musty copperhead den odor when out hiking? that was what this reminded me of. clear amber, bubbly head which dissapated pretty quickly. as for flavor: no honey, no cream--can taste the hops though. won’t buy this again.

Some hops and a bit sweet aroma. Good smell of honey but a bit metallic and kind of weak overall. Very small head on golden-orange. Crisp, lots of bittering hops. A little sweet with a taste of honey. Clean bitter finish. Pretty good taste, but lack of head and weak aroma brought score down.

The hops tend to overwhelm the honey flavor, but still an outstanding ale. Appearance is orange, thick and creamy with a fresh grassy aroma. Finish leans to the bitter side.
