Half-E-Weizen
Poured from a "bomber" in to two american pint glasses. Stired the bottle half way through the pour to "rise" the yeasts. A--Hazy burnt orange. More of a dull brown. Not impressed, not a hefe, not a dunkel. But after reading the ingredients its understandable how this really doesn't fit the mold. S--Overwhelmingly ginger. Just a bit of the typical banana volitle. I could smell the hops way in the back. T--Farily complex. Hit with the ginger first, then on to the hops and the clove like sweetness. There were alot of flavors here that kinda confused my pallate and I really didnt like how prevailing the ginger was. M--Rather creamy for a Witbier. Had a slight alcohol finish. Finished dry in my opinion. The lovely lady sharing this brew with me said that it had a hoppiness that hung in her mouth. D--I cant really drink more than 1 or 2 wits in a sitting. Its a good drink with a full body, but just too many flavors and spices. Overall--check it out. Its alright, nothing to write home about. I'm faithful to Rogue for their not so typical opinion of style. They always put together a unique opinion on tradtional flavors, but this one just didnt do it for me.
