Rogue Honey Cream Ale

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

Crisp fruity sweetness in the aroma. orange/honey color with almost no head. Light and floral in the fore followed by some buttery toffee int he middle and then more of that floral sweetness.

Well this smells pretty good for a honey beer. And it’s not too bad for having honey in it either. That said, this ingredient is just better left out of beer.

On Tap @ Rogue Pub in North Plains: Clear gold in color with mildly sticky lacing. Citrusy hops present with hints of spearmint and a wheatty aftertaste. Overall, a good brew.

On tap. a wonderful session ale. smooth and very easy drinking. bittersweet finish.

clear orange, well retained lacey white head. aroma of honey, earth, perfumy flowers and sweet malt. nice sweet honey-ish malt flavours and well balanced with tart lemon and earthy hops. nice for a style that’s usually crap.

Poured a hazy golden color with a somewhat well-retained creamy white head. Nose picked up some sweet malts as well as the honey. Light-bodied with honey, sweet malt, and a hint of citrus noted. Creamy mouthfeel with clean, crisp finish. Very easy drinker, and good summertime brew

The aroma is soft and really mellow - notes of honey and bready malts are present, but subdued. The body brings the honey to the forefront, with a great natural sweetness. The light, creamy mouthfeel makes this a great, and easy, drinker. Yum!

12 oz bottle. Pours a light amber in color with a minimal off-white head. Aroma boasts slight notes of malts and honey, but nothing too ostentatious. The flavor is nothing great--you can taste the honey, but only barely. Overall, not one of Rogue’s finest.
