Citrus and lots of grass in the nose with a hint of sweet honey. Pours clear yellow with noticeable carbonation. Starts like a refreshing summer brew but ends on sour note. Yes honey can be found in the taste but it is overwhelmed by bitter hops. It finishes incredibly dry making it most unpleasant.

12 oz bottle. Straw colored with a thin white head. Small honey aroma with some malty sweetness as well. Light sweetness in the flavors that is pretty well balanced. Lawn-mower type of beer.

Bottle bought in Yellowstone NP. Pours a clear light golden body with a thin white head. The aroma is full of honey and grains, a touch of hops too. The flavor is not bad; some rich honey, a bit of sweet corn and malts, and a good bit of hops that are slightly bitter. Fairly dry and metallic finish. OK.

pours a clear golden yellow with a one finger white fluffy head. aroma is grain, honey, malt and hops in that order of strength. has a light body with ok lacing and good carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma. has a small dry aftertaste and there is an aroma and flavor of coriander. it’s descent and definitely a summer slammer. the aroma and flavor do get a bit stronger as it warms. the coriander sits on the tongue and grows a little in strength in the aftertaste. i am also getting a little lemon citrus in the flavor as well. the honey comes out a little bit more in the aroma.

Bottle. Pours a sunshine gold color with a medium off-white head. Aroma is predominantly citrus and slightly sweet. It has a light summery flavor, with citrus, malt, hops. The honey is there, but is in the background. Thin mouthfeel. Good, but not great.

Nice nose to this stuff. The honey comes through on the pallet with some some sour/citrus fruit. Malt is decent, very clean with a spicey, light hop dryness to it. Poundable on a hot day, very refreshing.
