Rogue Honey Cream Ale

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

Pours a hazy golden color. Smells of honey, malt, and a bit of yeast. Tastes of honey more then just a hint as the description notes. Malt definitely takes a backseat as the honey dominates yet it’s the only other thing I could pick up aside from a bit of hops.. Very creamyingly smooth and refreshing. I think this would be a great beer for the BMC drinkers to try. Delicious!

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, big white foamy head. Hoppy fruity aroma with malty and honeyish hints. Flavour of hops and honey with some malty notes. Mouthdrying finish.

22 oz. bottle. Hazy golden colour with a mostly diminishing frothy white head. Honey, toasty, and light grassy aroma. Honey and faint metallic flavour with a soft bitter and lightly sour finish. Light bodied, creamy but fizzy mouthfeel. Note to self - stop buying beers with "Honey" in the name.

Clear amber color with a thick foamy head. Honey flavor with a little hint of hops. It is a very refreshing light beer.

Hazy gold color with a short-lived fizzy white head, whose ghost does some remarkable lacing as one drinks. It’s got a light, sweet grassy aroma with perhaps a hint of honey, the hops barely making themselves known. The flavor is grainy with light fruits and a smattering of honey sweetness. The finish is quite clean. Not exciting, but very drinkable.

Bottle. Poured a hazy medium amber with a small rocky white head. Aroma of light hops with a small honey tone. Light to medium body with sweet short finish. Flavor of moderate sweet.

Pours a very pale, clear copper with a thick, creamy ivory head. Nice and lacy. Smell is a light grassy malt and sweet honey. Taste is a pleasant grassy malt with a light hoppy bitterness. Then the honey kicks in and gived it a bit of a mead flavor. A bit heavy handed with the honey IMO. Light and crisp in the mouth with a sweet honey aftertaste blended with some crisp hop bitterness. I love cream ales, huge fan of the style. However, I hate honey in my beer. Without the honey, an excellent cream ale. With the honey, it is lacking. If you don’t mind the honey though, a very tasty and drinkable ale.

Pours hazy dark straw with a firm honey aroma along with hopcit. Honey, fruit, and some perfumy florals in the taste and finish. Decent balance for a cream ale.
