Commercial Description:
This all-malt ale is brewed with pure Wisconsin honey which provides a light, but rich flavor. This special blend of wheat and barley malt that we use, along with domestic hops, continues to provide a full body and fresh hop aroma.

Suprisingly dark brownish golden. Aroma is malty with a hint of honey and something I call coconut for lack of a better term--don’t know what that is. Light bodied and fizzy. A little bit of sweetness and a little bit of bitterness so in that repect well balanced. One of the better brews by Berghoff though I’m no big fan. Very drinkable at least and definitely a step above BMC.

Lots of white floaties in this one. A dark amber body. A thin white head. Aroma of sweet honey and some light bread. The taste is an artificial sweetness. A bitter aftertaste. Tastes of metal and some bubblegum. The floaters have me worried.

This is really one of those beers that does not beg for description; if you're into micros, why buy a Huber product? If you're not, how did you come across this? No "wheat" character here, the honey seems fake, thin, watery, but somehow refreshing in an odd way.

Much too light. hennes is right; it has a definite grassy, straw-like flavor. But if there is honey in it, I’m surprised.

A little sweet with some gassy, grassy tones. Not really worth the dimes I dropped on it in an Indiana grocery.

i liked this beer, especially on tap, but it must be very cold to drink or else it gets to sweet-makes a good session ale.

Berghoff makes some good beers, but this does not fall into that catagory. Smells worse then it tastes.

Nice sweet aroma, beautiful golden color. Surprisingly bitter though, especially the aftertaste. I’ll let my friends drink the rest of the 6 pack.
