Watery with a hint of caramel and honey. Light thin dull body. Not impressed, but could be much worse.

Mostly clear with a golden hue. After the head faded (which didn’t take long), a big, sweet-smelling almond aroma seemed to lift. Moderate carbonation up front, but it died toward the end of the sip. Then the beer became extremely watery. Rather sweet, with notes of intense vanilla, lightly aromatic almond and subtle honey. Hardly any bitterness. Very reminiscent of vanilla cream soda.

Head is initially small, fizzy, white, fully diminishing. Body is clear light dirty yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (caramel), with a note of vanillin, hint of cola. Flavor is lightly sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Light body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation. Nearly flavorless, very thin and watery and fizzy, with an artificial creme soda kind of aroma. Not truly repulsive, but still distasteful and nothing resembling beer. Very disturbing color...light yellow hue, but with a faint stained brown tinge, extremely unpleasant looking.

Kind of reminsicent of a paler version of honey brown, has that breakfast cereal, honeycomb kind of taste to it. Light almond and honey with some biscuity notes, but overall watery and malty and too light, but surprisingly easy to drink.

2004 Autumn Brew Review: Honey Coloring. No Head. Watery. Honey. Average...Pretty Boring.

Autumn Brew Review 2004. Very light yellow color with no head. A little honey in the aroma. Decent enough nut taste with a bit of sweetness. Not great, but not nearly as bad as what I was expecting.

Clear light almond color. No head in my 2 oz. convience store sample. Hint of sweetness in the aroma. Taste like seltzer water flavored with honey and maybe a hint of almond. Thin and watery. Not bad but not much there.

Could have been good if it was not made into a light beer. Way to watery and soda popish. I like the honey in it and the almonds (which I did taste) but it was so week it was a wasted oputuinity for something unique. I would have to pass on this one if offered it again. Smelled decent
