Rogue Somer Orange Honey Ale

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Fruit Beer
Newport, Oregon USA

22oz bottle. Gold color with a little white head. Not much orange aroma or flavor, but a decent session beer.

Draught at MacGloughin’s in Kyoto. Sweet and smooth, lags in the mouth. too sweet, and the malt lacks character. Not bad drinking, but very unimpressive.

22oz bottle. Pours a cloudy golden orange body thats pretty highly carbonated. Finger-width, white, loud and fizzy head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is pale malts, honey, wheat, and a clearly orange citrus. Not bad, but okay. I do like the clear orange, however. The flavor is surprisingly good. Lots of honey and a good amount of orange. Very noticeable honey sweetness, actually. It lingers really nicely into the aftertaste. Slightly wheaty, but more pale malty tasting than wheat. Kind of has a graham cracker taste to it. Palate is highly carbonated and medium to light, but the honey really gives it a flatter feel. Overall, I really like this a lot more than the reviews have given it. The obvious honey taste lasts throughout and extends into the aftertaste. Im a big fan of that. The orange, on the other hand, is clearly pronounced, unlike a lot of beers where the citrusy taste is a mix between orange, lemon, or grapefruit. I also appreciate this quality. Its a nice sweetness without being extremely malty or sugary. I would say if you take the time to enjoy this and really like honey, this is a recommended beer. Well done!

I had this in the bottle. I am instantly reminded of Bells Oberon, except this is a little too subtle for me. Good summer brew, but I like to have my ass kicked a little more. Cheers

Bottle. Head is initially small, fizzy/frothy, off-white, fully diminishing. Body is hazy medium yellow, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain), lightly hoppy (flowers, apricot), trace yeast (cobwebs), with a light note of lemon/lime/orange zest, hint of soap. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation.

Both a fruit and wheat beer, and yet somehow not as bad as I thought it would be. Still bad though, so it goes. At least it was free.

Tap at brewpub.
Pours a flat amber orange with an aroma of rotted vegetable soaked in stale honey. Flavor is creamy sweet with candied sugar in the finish. Average mouthfeel. ?Donde esta el anaranjado?
