Honey Orange Wheat Ale
Eugene City Brewery

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a nice honey color with about a finger of head which dissipates quickly.

Nice aroma smells sweet to me little hints of the orange and honey.

Moderately lite mouth feel with a nice amount of carbonation.

Great flavor. starts off with a strong honey which sort of fades off into the liter orange flavor. Nice finish and aftertaste. Very sweet Good for a nice hot day.

Note: My bottle was labeled Track Town Honey Orange wheat which I believe is the same.

 

 

 

 

 

Poured from tap at Oregon Brewers Festival

A - bright orange hue, subdued head

S - a lot of honey and sweetness, not a lot of orange

T - here's the orange, but it takes a backseat to the honey

M - light bodied with little seriousness

D - Maybe more balance was needed? It got cloying after a bit.

Ive been looking forwards to this brew ever since i heard about it and today being the scorcher it is why not try it today as it definately sounds like a nice summer beer anyways it pours a semi see thru honey hue with nice carbonation that leaves a one finger head and some lacing here and there,suprisingly i dont find the aroma that strong but i do smell hints of honey,lemon,orange and a little touch of corriander,it has a well carbonated mouthfeel which is almost similar to a tasty,nicely balanced Lager and the taste is mainly honey infused citrus with a little touch of wheat but not much and it definately plays second fiddle on the palette and to be quite honest this has to be one of the most non wheaty wheat beers i have tasted and have to say i think the brewers got the balance of ingredients just right in this brew to showcase the fruit side of it first up but not in your face courtesy of the wheat background,overall a different tasty brew that wont leave you gobsmacked but will always have a place in my collection definately recommend.

22oz. bomber into pint glass.

Slightly cloudy honey-golden yellow, with a thin white head that left little lacing. Has a mild citrusy wheat aroma. It has a nice wheat flavor, with a mix of some bitter and some sweet, slight honey notes, and a touch of alcohol very surprisingly. The body is medium, but has quite a bit of carbonation, perhaps a bit much for my liking. It is a fairly drinkable beer, but would be probably be much more appreciated in the summer season.

500ml bottle that I've cellared for about a year. Poured into my large Gulden Draak tulip, 1809 is hazy burnt gold with a white head that leaves light lace.

Smell is a bit of sour wheat, kind of dull. Served at at refrigeration temp.

Taste is ok, clean wheat flavor, but basically a bland wheat ale. There is a slight hint of orange peel.

Mouthfeel is dry and crisp, medium body.

Drinkability is ok, quaffable enough, and the hint of citrus provides a slight layer of depth without being over done. Still, my least favorite style of beer probably, and it's difficult for me to overlook that bias. And while I didn't buy this, I'm sure it was the typical Rogue rip-off bomber.

A - This retro-styled bomber had an old school track shoe on the orange, green, and yellow 70's label. The beer is cloudy and orange with a small but starch-white head of crisp foam. Lots of good lace sticks around the glass.

S - Smells like a hefeweissen/MellowYellow shandy or something. This smells like the colors of the bottle look. Citrus fruit is the major player here with tart lemon and zesty lime, and a more subdued donut and yeast hefe note lies beneath. Smells like a champion's breakfast of glazed donuts and Mountain Dew.

T - Lime, grapefruit, lemon, orange, and what tastes like west coast hops. I wouldn't be surprised at the hoppy notes given its state of origin, but I have a feeling that the illusion of grapefruit aroma comes from an actual grapefruit citrus note and not from that glorious green gift from God that we call hops.

M - Tart, acidic, and quenching. Light bodied without being watery, this is a good summer brew to bring on a boating trip or to the beach/pool. Would pair well with a light sammich and some tato chips.

D - A good hot-weather brew to chase away the sweat on a warm summer day. Not very complex or stunning, but its a very serviceable wheat brew. This could be a crowd pleaser for those who like stuff like Tequiza and Bud Lime/Miller Chill, or for those who insist upon stuffing a wedge of lime down the long clear neck of some Mexican pisswasser. Friends like Blue Moon with an orange? Spring one of these on them and see what they think.

I didn't know what to expect from this beer. Honey, orange, wheat...Rogue...?
Pours a hazy, tired yellow/gold color. A nice 'fizzy' sound upon opening promised some carbonation, but this was farcical. Soapy head whimpered to nothing.
Aroma contains some honey and green lemon. No orange I could tell. Slight biscuit notes come in and out.
Semi-sweet taste to start off. Honey is there and I am thankful this isn't like that Honey Brown stuff. Yet this one is weak in other areas as well. Wheat? Hops? Yeast? It's like a thicker lemonade, watered down. Flat, boring.

22oz bottle didn't go 22oz. Drain pour after 14oz for better things.
