Big Sky Summer Honey

Brewed by Big Sky Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Missoula, Montana USA

Dark straw pour, low head and lace. Honey, corn aroma. Low carb, some bitterness, somewhat artificial honey flavor. Grainy, corny. Not bad, but forgettable.

Pours a clear, blonde color with a fairly small, fizzy, white head which is mostly diminishing and leaves minimal lace. Nose is honey, sweet cereal, and faint notes of floral and sweat. Flavor is similar with not much going on; moderately light bitterness, sweet cereal, light honey, and sweat. Palate is very thin, watery, lightly dry from the honey, and lively to fizzy. Finishes quickly and drying with lingering cereal and bitterness. Nothing really happening, a thin, watery, blonde ale with some sweetness and dryness added through honey. Nothing else.

The description on the label sounded like an excellent beer. However... it does anything but meet the description. Its a perfectly weak beer. Weak on a head (non existent) . Week on flavor... aka its like a main stream light beer. Watered down! And weak on alcohol content. 4.7%. Skip this one. I’d give itg a D+

Lifeless hazy yellow with just a wee bit of head. Aroma of honey, malt and my *favorite* adjunct, corn. Honey doesn’t transfer over to the taste so much and it’s pretty much just corn and malt. Light tasting and blah, even for a summer beer.

Pour is a hazy blond with a large white head. Aroma is is very creamy and yeasty with some sweetness in there. Flavor is at first sweet and some honey but then it follows up with more of a spice. Finish is easy to drink with no bitterness. This was actually better than i thought it would be.

Yeah, I know it’s October, but I’m trying to hold onto summer. Unfortunately I got this one. At least it was a variety six. Colbert tells me that bears are one of the biggest threats to the United States, and I can see why: they make shitty beer. Somewhat crisp and refreshing if you’re dying of thirst I suppose.

Golden honey pour with a a bit of bubbly carbonation leaving a good thick white head which mostly diminishes into heavy lacing on the glass. Slightly pleasing yeasty-bread and bitter hop with balanced taste. Easily drinkable on hot summer days.

Bottle. Pours a clear, deep gold with a thin white head that fades. Aroma is sweet, quite a bit of honey, hops, malt, citrus. The honey hits right away in the taste, with pine, malt, citrus. Lingering sweet honey flavor. A little too sweet, but not bad.
