Tastes like someone dropped a giant glob of honey into my beer and then squeezed a lemon intop it, not very good at all!

Bottle from neighbors crappy collection. Golden pour with a citrus aroma. Thin in taste and a mild orange peel taste. EHH ok.

Very easy beer to drink, light in taste. One of my favorite summer beers. Nice, light hint of citrus.

Had this beer on 5/30/2007. Aroma is light and is like a basic Pilsner. Color is a bright gold with low carbonation and a tight white head. Taste is light and bland. Starting with a light body it goes down easy with a crisp feel. Finish comes in with a slightly sweet taste that leads into a flat malt like flavor and a very very faint bitterness. On the very end there is a mild after taste that is a bit honey like.

A nice summer blend. Lighter beer with a touch of honey and a wheat/citrus smell. Darker yellow and goes down smooth with a faint honey aftertaste. Overall a nice beer.

Wheaty aroma with hint of fruit. Somewhat dusty. Pale gold with particalia that makes it appear hazy. Is the particalia intentional? The date on the bottle is Sep. 30 ’07. Thin white head. Unlike many honey brews, you can definitely taste the honey in this brew. Sweet. The orange peel is also evident. Nicely done. Most summer ales are very subtle in their flavoring, but this brew brings a little more to the table. I’m not a big honey fan, but for those who are, this brew is a treat. A little one dimensional. Another macro produced brew that is woefully underrated due to the Ratebeer macro bias.

Pretty nice brew for a hot summer. Touch of honey in the flavor with the citrus undertones gave it a thick mouthfeel without being overly sweet. I liked this more than I expected I would.

Clear golden colour with strong red and orange hues and a small persistent white head. The aroma was faint but had some orange citrus zing to it. The flavour was decen at first, light with honey and orange coming through. By the end the honey sweetness was too much and I had trouble finishing it. It wasn’t too bad though.
