Barkley Sound Honey Almond Light

Brewed by Cold Spring Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Cold Spring, Minnesota USA

Smells of honey and almonds. No head, very light carbonation in this murky brown beer. Flavor is complete disappointment with skunky, mold-flavored malt masked by artificial honey and almond taste. One wonders if the inspiration for this beer was molded Honey-Nut Cherrios. Yuck.

Dark tan-copper color. Aroma of almond and honey of course. Taste comes through as a old soda sitting in the fridge after a few months. Only thing that saves this beer is the flavor of honey and almonds. It masks that unpleasant light beer flavor.

While it could be described as little more than Budweiser with an added honey almond extract, the honey almond flavor does improve the beer by masking the underlying inferior malts, making this beer at least tolerable until the honey wears off; Honey almond is initially the principle part of the flavor, but wears off quickly; Maltiness has a definite cornlike flavor and is balanced by the mild hops bitterness; Strong perfumy honey almond nose; Yellow color; Fairly well carbonated; Minimal head when poured has no retention or lacing

Slightly hazed yellowish appearance, decent carbonation, moderate head formation. Strong sweet, honey, toffee aroma. Lots of toffee and caramel on the palate, very sweet, not much balance.

Bottle. Golden amber color with no head. A surprisingly strong honey and almond nut flavor. It was almost as if they poured syrup into each bottle, as it did not appear natural. The aroma was nice and it had a pleasant flavor. A toast to a drinkable American Light beer.

Light orange color. More flavor than many American lights. Surprisingly good fruit aftertaste. Good for a light beer.

not very good at all, definaltely not beer my of choice, I will probably not choose it again

The aroma of this makes me sick. A terrible beer to say the least. Really does taste like a liquid watered down almond. Why
