Bottle. I like this beer. It had a definite honey taste but it was not sweet at all. Smelled slightly of honey and even looked like honey when poured into a glass. I recommend this beer.

Wow, pretty good weekend for on-the-beaten-path new beers. Picked this one up at the Circle K. Dry, honey-twangy lagerish aroma - I didn’t particularly enjoy the smell. Mashed banana gold, decent label, head fades quickly but the brew is effervescent and the foam clings in webs on the sides of the glass. Dry, moderately acidic, fruit-pith bitterness, some tart stone fruit - sloes, plums. Medium light body, bready at times, honey only discernable to me in the nose and the aftertaste. On the whole, it did make a play as a crisp and light summer beer.

Blue Moon with a dose of honey. Not much spicy and bite. Pretty yellow haze, 1/2 head, lite lacing. If you need honey in your beer, try this.

Pours a hazy yellow with small white head. Nose of grain and lemon. Flavor is much the same with lemon taking over as the main flavor. Light body with a clean light malty finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear pale straw color, smallish head. Very thin palate. Aroma is weak, grainy, sweet, lemon and honey. Very light and easy drinking, flavor is light malt and honey, citrus. Touch of wheat flavor. Refreshing summer ale but lacking character.

Bottle… Hazy yellow ale with a huge, frothy, white head. Great retention. Reserved orange blossom honey nose. Medium-bodied with a 2%-milk mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Heavily sweet flavor; honey with a touch of citrus fruit. Pleasantly sweet, mellow finish. Very bragot-like.
