Bayhawk Honey Blonde

Brewed by Bayhawk Ales
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale

Pours a golden yellow with a distinct honey aroma. Taste is very sweet honey with mild hops in the aftertaste. The beer tasted better the more I drank it. Overall a descent blonde ale.

On tap @ King’s Fish House in Eastlake. Light almost faint aroma of floral hops and sweet honey detected by the nose. Sweet and perfectly balanced between hops and malt while a noticed spoonful of honey in the mix as well. Strong disgusting finish that tasted like a Coors aftertaste or another macro company.

On draught at Yard House in San Diego. The beer is a clear orange-golden color with a thin off-white head that diminishes quickly, and spotty lacing. Lightly sweet malt and honey in the nose. Light body with bready malt and honey flavors, and just a hint of spice. The finish is sweet and short, with just a touch of malt left over. Slightly below average overall.

From tap at Yards, Pasadena. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small lacing white head. Aroma is mild caramelish. Light breadish and mild caramel flavoured. Light sweetness and caramel lingering finish. Good.

Draft. A dark golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes caramel and honey. The flavor is sweet matly with strong notes of honey as well as lighter notes of straw and spices, leading to a dry honey finish.

Mild sweet honey aroma. A little grain on the nose too. Pours a light yellowish gold. Flavor is sweet malt and grain. Pretty light and refreshing. As it warms a funky sour aroma emerges. I guess you are supposed to pound this one in order to quell the afformentioned aroma.
