Commercial Description:
Our honey wheat beer contains 120lbs of honey per batch. As with the raspberry this is a lighter beer and also one of our most popular. The honey gives the beer a slight sweetness and also raises the alcohol content because the yeast ferments some of the honey. We use traditional hallertau hops in producing this unfiltered wheat ale.

on tap-pours a white head and gold color. Taste is a weak honey. Not much to this, but nothing offensive.

Pours amber with a tall off-white head. Aroma of honey with a hint of wheat and a little bit of malt. Taste is very sweet with little bitterness and very little hop character. Mouthfeel is thin, almost dry. The sweetness comes to the forefront as the beer warms.

Tap. Pours pale gold with a small white head. Sour malt and hoppy yeast aroma and flavor. Light bodied and fizzy palate.

Bottle poured ahazy golden yellow with a small white head that dissapated quickly. Aromas of honey and bread. Crisp refreshing mouthfeel.Sweet bread flavor upfront, with a sweet herbal finish.

mostly clear, medium golden, white head. honey is fairly evident when you know it’s in there, although i doubt i would notice it otherwise. wheat malt is pretty straight forward in the aroma, even moreso in the flavor. i’m bad at detecting non-northwest hops. not really a bad beer, just not all that interesting.

Smells like a bad basic lager. Good head, but has no retention. Color- guess. Body is malty enough, but the taste simply isn’t there. Bitter, metallic taste. Not any wheat elements detectable.

Light golden body, minimal head and no lacing. Aroma is very herbal and sweet. Taste is sweet malts - I didn’t taste any honey. Finish was very herbal - almost medicinal - that’s a real turn-off for me. Body was very thin. I was surprised to see so many people at the brewery picking up 6 packs of this.

Draft at the brewery: Rather carbonated. Some tart and citric notes up front. Very light sweetness (I'd say the honey is mostly fermented), hardly detectable in the flavor profile. Has a sharp bite of bitterness and carbonation in the dry finish. Crisp, light and easy-drinking, but nothing special.
