Wolf's Ridge Brewing Rogue Wave

What the brewers say

“Juicy citrus zest rides a wave of smooth haze.”

What our panel thought

“Ginger, lime, orange peel, and grapefruit notes burst out of the glass. That bright citrus note carries through into the flavor, balanced by a lightly sweet malt backbone. Overall, a well-executed concept, with restrained additions of special ingredients that complement instead of overwhelm the flavor.”

What our editors thought

“Pineapple-lime daiquiri nose is an uncanny match for a frozen cocktail. A lightly acidic edge helps define those fruit notes in the sip, with some tangy tart snap. Unusual.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Green Cheek Beer Company Swim Test

“Dank herbal tea aroma with sweet orange, cardamom, mango, papaya. Flavor profile is a three-way battle among spicy alcohol, a syrupy malt sweetness, and a green, tropical, white-grape hoppiness. Substantial hop bitterness helps pull it all together.”

6 Bridges Brewing Perihelion II

“Aroma of gym sock, pine, green onion, a bit of ripe citrus. Similarly structured flavor with an assertive bitterness. Malt body and soft mouthfeel temper hints of warmth in the finish.”

Urban South Glimmer of Hops

Bright, complex aroma: peach, candied orange, lemon, passion fruit, subtle pine in the background. That carries into flavor, with intense sweetness balanced by plenty of bitterness—distinct but not harsh. Heavy citric notes play into dryness of finish. Canned tropical sunshine.
