Commercial Description:
The sunniest beer in the Empyrean universe. Chaco Canyon’s light outset is punctuated with a crisp, piney, American-hop finish. The addition of honey lends this beer a very clean finish.

Bottle from Eboats Thanks!

Pours a somewhat clear gold, with a slowly dissipating head. Aroma is the typical odor of a Pilsner, but a sweeter version. Flavor is a round, blunt malt with touches of sweetness, though I wouldn’t say I detect any "honey," if that was the intent of the brewer. Palate is par for the course. A nice beer for a hot day.

12oz bottle via trade with eboats - Thanks Caleb! - Pours golden with a short white head that faded fairly fast.. Aroma of honey, grains, and a touch of caramel. Flavor is sweet, honey, grain, corn, and light hops on the finish. Palate is light not overly carbonated. Easy to drink.. Would make a fair session.

12oz bottle from Eboats. Pours a light golden color. Nose is light honey and grass. Flavor is light honey, some bitterness. Fairly watery.

Thanks to Sledge Jr for this one. The pour reveals a brilliantly clear deep yellow body that forms a soapy, fleeting white head that patterns the sides of the glass as it falls. Sweet malt aroma with a heavy sourness. Maybe that’s the corn aroma everyone mentions in the rating descriptions for this style. I last smelled this in some beers from Ghana. Smooth, thin, sweet with an astringent finish. No honey character to this that I discern. Do I hear the lawnmower?

One of my favorite beers. It has a great taste, mildly sweet but not excessive with a good after taste. The right bar tender can get it to head but very little. Golden in color although it’s cloudy to look through. There are better but not many.

Tap at brewpub...Color of light honey, no head. Muted aroma, slightly floral. Sweet malt with a suggestion of honey character. Light beer all the way around. Something for beginners or those not wanting a lot of flavor to get in the way of their beer drinking.

One of my favorites from Empyrean’s selection. Sure, it’s fairly light in body, but the texture is a great honey drip style. The appearance is a nice golden amber. Particularly tasty on its own, but goes with food as well.

Slightly hazy golden yellow with thin and quickly dying head. Sweet malty aroma. The flavor is noticably honeyed with an almost-syrupy texture.
