Rogue Ales Mom Beer Wheat India Pale Ale

Posted on by Evan

Mom Beer from Rogue Ale in Newport, Oregon, a 6.3% ABV wheat IPA with Oregon Rose Hips. You rarely see a Wheat IPA, but this one pours a light orange with a one-finger white head. The aroma is floral, bitter, and light on wheat. This smells like a floral IPA. The flavor is like a normal IPA with bitter notes, and then you come across malt, floral, and wheat notes. This bee has a smoothness to it. The finish is floral and bitter. The aftertaste is smooth and bitter with a bit of a floral note. This Mom Beer is okay. The rose hips don’t add anything interesting here, but the wheat does, and it gets a C. It’s OK, average. I wouldn’t recommend this, and I would. It is one of those beers if you have it or pass on it, either way, it’s okay. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

Stone Brewing Enjoy By 10.31.24 Hazy IPA

Posted on by Evan

This Hazy IPA, Enjoy By 10.31.24, is part of Stone Brewing’s Enjoy By series of IPAs. They put the expiration date right in the name of the beer. This beer is 9.4% ABV with a heavy helping of Citra, Mosaic, and Nelson Sauvin hop. I have never had a Stone Enjoy By beer. This is my first, but I’ve had my fair share of Stone beers. This beer pours a hazy orange with a one-finger white head. The aroma is tropical, citrusy orange, hoppy and bitter. The flavor is smooth, light-bodied, tropical, citrusy, and hoppy. This has a light to medium mouthfeel. Then, this beer comes to a bitter citrus finish. The aftertaste is bitter citrus as well, but it does end smooth. I didn’t find this IPA to feel like it was 9.4% ABV. I give Stone Enjoy By 10.31.24 a B. Solid hazy IPA with good fruity flavor without being overly strong and aggressive. I recommend that you try this beer. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
