Commercial Description:
Dark straw colored, this medium bodied ale retains some residual sweetness from pure clover honey, and a long lasting head from both wheat and barley malt. Relatively low hoppiness is coupled with the use of selected spices.

12 oz. bottle, no freshness date, the brewery’s website currently lists the ABV as 5.4%, sampled in a pint glass. L: Unfiltered hazy, orangey straw golden with a billowy white head that slowly settled into a sudsy skim. The head retention on this wheat ale is quite good. Minimal amount of splotchy lace at the top of the glass. S: Raw barley grains and wheat malts, flowery, namely orange blossoms, touches of lemon and honey, notes of herbal hops as well. Mellow, but pleasantly flavorful smelling nose on this APWA, the aroma of a hot summer afternoon quaffer. F&T: Soft carbonation gives the light body a mildly firm and slightly creamy feel in the mouth, America’s Honey Wheat Ale is a smooth and easy drinker. Mellifluously sweet tastes of orange, lemon and honey, backed by pale malts and a gentle wheat twang. A delicate hop spiciness comes out in the finish. Finishes softly clean with just a briefly lingering lemon honey aftertaste. Honey Wheat Ale is a pretty decent American Pale Wheat Ale, fills the bill while watching baseball on this sunny and humid summer day.

Bottle... Mostly clear, yellow ale with a small, creamy, white head. Subtle notes of cereal grains and lemon zest in the nose. Medium-bodied and lightly oily with prickly carbonation. Grain and honey flavors with mild bitterness and lingering sweetness. Finishes crisp and a touch citric, but then sweetens-up toward the very end.

12oz bottle thanks to 17thfloor, was excited to see what one of the few bottled versions of there beer would turn out like. Murky light amber color with small white head. Aroma is subtle orange and honey over sweet wheat and barley malt. Flavor is mostly orange and other citrus though slight honey is also noticable and medium sweet malt. Medium to thin body with okay carb. Meh.

Very average pour, murky straw colored with a somewhat frothy white head. Smells of sour macro keg beer, honey, soap and wheat. Sweet, soapy like cashews, honey, slightly toasty flavor, a little bit hot. Watery body, tingly carbonation, somewhat juicy. Barley malt plays a larger part than the wheat for sure. Eh...
