Pours a clear bright golden with a thin wispy white head. Aroma of sweet pale malt and a touch of floral honey. Body starts somewhat thin with a touch of pale sweet grainy malt and dcent lingering honey flavor throughout. Finishes more bitter and dry. Not bad for a honey ale.

A pretty decent beer. Pours a golden yellow with a average head. Mild carbonation. Does taste a bit watered down but still has a decent flavor. Seems like a good summer beer.

Well, I just tried the MacTarnahan’s "Honey beer" and was unimpressed. Won’t be hard to beat that one... Summer honey has a lovely appearance. Pale golden with a big white fluffy head that stays to chat. The nose reminds me of a blonde ale. Citrus hops, some light malts, and, yes, some honey. The beer is light to the point it’s almost watery on the palate, but it’s ok. There’s some definite bitterness going on, but the brew goes down clean with just a touch of honey.Takes Mac’s to task.

Tap. Refreshing summer beer, that is a nice session beer after (not during) a long day of motorcyle riding. As was stated before it is not overly complex. I would equate it with a blonde ale and some spices/honey flavors thrown in. The honey is definitely there, I could not discern any other spices, there were flavors of grains and a slight mustiness.

Pours clear golden, thin white head. Good summer brew, thin but very drinkable some orange and lemon with a touch of sweetness, nothing spectavular but just a good drinking beer.

Bottle: Clear yellowish gold with a small but frothy white head. Lots of carbonation. Aromas aren’t too strong, maybe a little wheat and light skunky malts. The taste is good for a summer brew - it isn’t too sweet, but having said that, the hops aren’t strong either. The feel is nice - not too thin, but still refreshing.

Courtesy of Schwaiger <!-- P --> Light citrus, grain and honey aroma. Mildly cloudy yellow body holds a fairly lasting thumb thick white head. Wet grains in the fore. Very bready, but still wet and refreshing. mild herbal notes. Not very flavorful ont he whole, but it fills the bill as a summer thirst quencher.
