Empyrean Buckwheat Honey Ale

Brewed by Empyrean Brewing Company
Style: Specialty Grain
Lincoln, Nebraska USA

Tap at South location. My notes are almost identical to Sledge’s. Hazy amber/brown color. Ice cold, no head, seems flat. Smells of honey, thin, watery beer...not much flavor at all, save some bitter hops at the end with the honey dryness...and an odd almost metallic suggestion, probably from the honey...sorry Dave, hopefully your version was better (and I bet it was). This version I don’t really want to try again.

On tap at the brewpub. Color of ice tea. Very little head. Low carbonation. Strong aroma of honey. Thin in body with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Hops seem low. Subtle honey flavor. Maybe it was a little green when I had it? Seems like a good idea, but I’m not sure that this beer reached attenuation.
