| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 13, 2009 A dark yellow pour with a very small white head. The aroma, just like the flavor is honey with some hops. It has a light body with a watery mouthfeel and short sweet finish. Overall, kind of boring beer. hobbersr (412), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Sep 7, 2009 Pours a golden yellow with a one finger sized head that laces a little. Aroma is very sweet, with honey and sweet malt dominating and some funky hops showing through. The taste is sweet and funky. Honey, spice, funk, and weird astringent hops. The palate is decent. But I am not happy I have 300 ml of this left after the rating. unclemattie (2431), Georgia, USA

Thin fizzy white head. Aroma is of sugary wort, honey, lemon zest and unflavored salt water taffy. Thin bodied. Flavor of pale malts. Followed by a grassy bitterness. Nice. Refreshing. Not my bag, Lacks balance. drowland (1418), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 22, 2009 Snagged a bottle while in Milwaukee. Very good up front, but the finish was metal/mineraly... pretty good, though. Beaver (598), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 13, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear yellow with a smallish white head that quickly goes to a thin film.
The aroma is sweet clove honey and some spices.
The flavor is sweet bready malts and a bit of honey with some subdued spicing. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with good carbonation.
Overall, a decent slightly plain summer beer. troyc (1175), Lubbock, Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 6, 2009 [Bottle] Pours a light golden color with a small white head. Aroma of sweet grains and light grass. Taste is noticeably of honey, but not in a cloying or artificial way. Maybe some light fruit notes as well. A light and crisp hop finish. This beer is certainly not very heavy and is quite refreshing. At the same time, I really can’t find any flaws in here at all. Definitely one of the better ’summer seasonal’ beers I’ve had recently.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 1, 2009 Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a fizzy, white head. If that doesn’t say "Summertime Drinking", nothing does!
Smell: Faint pale malt nose with a note of honey, but maybe half a note each of spice and fruitiness.
Taste: Light pale maltiness with a modest honey-based sweetish. Hint of peach fruitiness as well as a touch fo spice. Floral, citrusy hops with a fairly tame, gentle bitterness. The flavor bounces back and forth between the simple, sweet honey and light spice taste until you reach the dry, thin finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Easy drinking, lightly flavorful, though somewhat forgettable. Yep, it’s about average for a simple, summertime libation! carruthm (1163), Seattle, Washington, USA
