Commercial Description:
Honey and beer have gone hand in hand since the beginning of time. Beer hasn’t always been brewed as clear and sparkling fresh as we know it today. It used to be dark, cloudy and more often than not, sour. Therefore honey was often used to sweeten the taste. Today we don’t use honey any more to mask the flaws of our beer but as a unique fermentable ingredient, broadening the flavour and aroma of the brew we love.

A sad trip to Brewsters today. Was anticipating the London Porter or a new seasonal. There were no cards on the tables advertising this and other than the name, the waitress only knew it was red and had honey. I thought I would just have a glass but since pints are on sale Sunday I went for the pint. Was also told that there was no Czech Pilsner due to the "worldwide hop shortage". The beer was dark red and tasted like a mediocre amber or thin brown. The honey while lending some sweetness did not provide a distinguishing flavour and perhaps a touch of a metallic quality.

Draught sample at Edmonton International Beerfest. Amber colour with a thin white head. Light malty aroma. Caramel malt flavour. Dryish finish with trace malt. Typical "honey brown" type beer.
