Commercial Description:
Big Rock Honey Brown is an exceptionally smooth, mellow lager with a subtle hint of sweet honey. This medium bodied, rich golden-brown lager is made with Alberta Clover Honey and aged longer to produce a cramy head and a clean aftertaste.

Bottle in Halifax. Dark amber body, small white head. Very sweet aroma of caramel and malt. Flavour is simple with lots of the sweet sugary caramel malt per the aroma. Very slight bitterness in the background doesn’t quite balance it out. Average palate. Pleasant enough, but gets a touch cloying after a bit.

can. copper body with a fluffy, creamy white head. aroma is sweet and honey-ish with caramel notes. body is sweet which of course you’d expect from a honey influenced beer. sticky finish. Not really sure what the whole "honey lager" thing is about...

Light coppery color with a malty aroma. I definitely noticed the sweet honey taste and nice finish. I was hoping for more flavor but this beer was still pretty good.

Golden colour small beige head. Malty sweet aroma if you can detect it. Light sweet flavour. Light in all areas. I’m not offended by it. But it’s not going to knock your socks off either

Thanks for microakes for buying a sixer...I might never have had it otherwise. Golden-brown colour. Grainy, vaguely caramelly aroma. Light body, fizzy. Very sweet with heavy corn syrup notes.

Dark golden colour with a thick off-white head and sticky lace. Honey aroma, some cotton candy sweetness as well. A hint of caramel malt aroma as well. Flavour is very thin, some malt and a touch of sweetness.
