On tap at founders. This beer is flavorful, but what I like about it the most is the sweet honey aftertaste. It may be one of the sweeter beers I have had. I quite enjoyed it.

On tap at the brewpub. Cloudy straw with creamy white head. Aroma is off dry wheat and citrus with some sulphur. Flavor is sweeter peach, wheat, citrus, a little sulphur again with spice, honey, nice. Medium, creamy body. The honey is there but well blended with the rest of the beer, well done and sessionable.

Had on tap for something different and wasn’t to disappointed. Its not to crazy, it is a wheat after all, and the honey added a lot of sweetness to it. They could almost bottle this for the market it would sell to, but a lot probably wouldn’t get bought. Still, pretty good for a change of pace.

A mediocre wheat brew on tap at the brewery. Pour was light brown in color with a small fizzy head. Taste had so little honey, with a lot of sweetness. Very plain and bland.

I’m going to agree with Badnews on this one. The new things I’ve had from Founders haven’t lived up to the thunder of their older, innovative, more solid beers (i.e., Breakfast Stout, IIIPA, many of their Rye Ales). This was a weak attempt to satisfy those seeking Oberon. Crisp, finish. Lacks complexitiy. A little too sweet. Where is the Founders I discovered on my 21st birthday. There website brags of their throwing caution to the wind and bucking of tradition, but why are they producing this ale which is far below their talent and potential.

Draft at Founders. I had the name as Honey Bee Wheat. Golden amber with small rocky head. Light aroma with sweet tone. Light wheat and honey flavor. Medium body with short honey finsih. This may be a shot at another Michigan brewery spring brew.

this is another substandard founders beer.....cloudy yellow hazy appearance with little white head...aroma is typical of a wheat with hints of honey and sugar...flavor is similar; nothing special here

Draft at Founders. Pours a honey/orange color with a fizzy head. Nose is candy sweet. Flavor is sweet with a hint of honey and earthiness.
