Empyrean Chaco Canyon Honey Gold

Brewed by Empyrean Brewing Company
Style: Pale Lager
Lincoln, Nebraska USA

Smells okay, a light bit of honey. Looks good. This is a pretty good beer. The honey isn’t real strong but there; some nice hops up front. This is a pretty good beer, especially for a light lager.

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.

Very nice clear amber color,small white head that faded quickly and left little behind.The aroma was malty sweet and honey with a spicy note in there but i could just be dreamin,at times it almost smells like Chaucers Mead,just not as heavy in the aroma.The honey does manage to come through in the aroma but just lightly.The flavor was light malt and a mildly sweet honey hint with just a bit of caramel and maybe some spiciness but it’s hard to say if it’s for real.The finish was sweet and honeyish with a sweet malt after taste.It’s nothing real special but still a decent brew.Thanks go to Matt_Dinges for sending this one my way.

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.

Appearance: Honey Gold it says in the name, and honey gold it looks in the glass, no doubt about it, with a small, departing white head. Aroma: soft, calm, mellow sweetness, just a hint of honey, bright and pretty. Taste: a most welcome hoppy blitzes the tongue, buzzing like a honey bee, then it’s all smooth-sailing, light, yummy. Light to medium body, tasty texture, nice finish. Quite a nice little ale, I could see it sitting in for a session or just a light change of pace for the palate.

I don’t think I’ve ever been the 5th person to rate a beer. The first in Missour to rate Empyrean. I’m very lucky. No description but its sweet and hoppy, nice malt flavor, this is a very good beer. I’m in the process of acquiring more Empyrean as we speak. This is a solid brand that not many have tried. If you need a Nebraska to complete your 50, this is a very good choice.

Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of dry malt, appley, some honey. Tastes dry and peppery with some fruitiness on the finish.

Clear golden honey yellow in color with a small off-white head thats loose on top and retains for a short while before fading to a very thin ring and drippy lace. Smell has some faint sweet malts, light caramel sense and honey; soft nose. Taste is a weakened brigade of soft malts lending a touch of doughnuts and caramel, has a small but nice little floral sweet hop bite that gives it a nudge past the midway point and has adequate carbonation but a lighter body feel with a hint of honey that creeps in after the crispy clean finish. Not a bad beer but something I wouldn't return to.
