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.

Straw colored body with a medium white head. Aroma is sweet and a bit skunky. I can smell the honey, but there’s almost a spoiled scent to it. Medium, oily palate up front leads to to higher carbonation and bite towards the end. The flavor is pretty bland. Honey and malt with a touch of hoppy bitterness. Not impressed.

Light golden color with a small lid of white bubbles. LIght blueberry and hint of malt aromas. Seems too sweet for a honey brew. Some mild glue scents as well. Flavors of marzipan and stale almonds. Some old wheat and oat flavors as well. I’m going to finish this, but it is going to be a challenge. Some light acidity in the finish and linger. I continue to dislike this style even more after this one.

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.
