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.

Golden......hazy. Thin white head. Faintly sweet aroma. Sweet malt flavor in the front......crisp, yet not overpowering mouthfeel. Finishes clean with a subtle honey aftertaste.

12 oz bottle generously given to me by Dansting. Pour is cloudy golden and light orange. Full two inch white head that falls fast. Aroma of cloves, grass, hay, honey, wheat and some faint citrus. Taste is full bodied wheatiness with slight honey sweetness and a nice yeast spiciness. This tasted much more of a Hefe to me than a wheat ale. Regardless, nice drinkable beer. Thanks Dan.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy dark gold with a thin head that quickly diminishes to a thin collar.

The aroma is very subdued - sweet honey and some malts.

The flavor is wheaty malts and some sweet honey with a strange vegetal almost plasticy finish. The mouthfeel is medium and watery with low carbonation.

Overall, a rather bland beer. The more I drank of it, the less I liked it.

in bottle. yellowish beer with no head, no matter how far away from the glass you hold the bottle to pour. A honey beer, yes, but also a wheat beer. The flavor grew on me, but this is no champion honey beer - it’s an american wheat with some honey thrown in. Hops are low, perhaps to be sure we taste the honey.

(Bottle) Pours a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Aroma of biscuits, wheat and even some light fruit. Taste is pretty good, with a sweet wheat character. Good palate, with a creamy mouthfeel and slightly below average carbonation. A pretty good beer.
