500ml bottle, 5% a/v Nice Bottle! Pours a beautiful rich gold colour with a slight white head. The nose is of malt and honey with perhaps a hint of citrus. The taste is also very honey based. This is actually the first honey beer ive had in which you can completley taste the honey. A very clean and refreshing aftertaste with just enough hops to make a perfect balance. This beer is damn good!!

Bottle. Pours a clear light gold colour with a creamy white head and some carbonation. The head disappears quickly, The aroma of honey hits as soon as the bottle is opened. Taste is not surprisingly dominated by honey, with some hop to balance.

Very Brittish tasting beer; from the mild, round, malt flavour to the subtle hoppy zing and semi dry finish. Just the slightest hint of honey at the first instant it hits the tongue. Very enjoyable and very drinkable. Cheers!

Bottle. Pours a clear yellow body with a small white creamy head. The aroma is fairly rank - lots of astringent honey which I can’t say I care for too much but there is also a little bit bread/caramel. Honey beers usually don’t do too much for me and I can’t imagine this will be an exception judging by the aroma. Well, I can say that I’m pleasantly surprised because this isn’t terrible - while this is definitely honey-oriented there is still some breadiness and cookie-ish type flavours. Smooth creamy body with a faint semblence of bitterness. Watery palate. Mediocre due to inherent properties of the so-called style.

The aroma of honey hits as soon as the bottle is opened. Pours a clear light gold colour with a creamy white head and some carbonation. The head soon disappears, but the beer remains lively to the end. Taste is not surprisingly dominated by honey, with some hop to balance. A very pleasant drink on a summers day.

Bottle. Pours a fairly nice looking gold with lots of bubbles and an average size diminishing foamy white head. Mild aroma starts grainy with malt and sugary yeast -- the honey is pretty faint, I’m not getting much out of it at all. Flavour’s also grainy with yeast and a minimal amount of honey, it seems to show up mostly in the finish along with some herbal hops. Medium bodied. Meh, it’s alright but mostly this is pretty boring, it tastes like a bland Pilsener that’s a little too sweet.

It looks like floating honey! Although it is not that fat : ). The smell is like the look: An obvious smell of honey, and other naturally sweeteners reaches your nose without problems. The beer is medium-bodied, has a lot of honey, a little of malt sweetness, and a little of hops, but it isn’t very well balanced. However, I don’t think it is supposed to be, because the honey HAVE to be obvious. The aftertaste is with honey too, but also with some hops. I think it is personal whether the honey becomes to much or not, and therefore it is also personal whether you think this is a good or a bad brew. You can’t say it is brewed in a bad way if you don’t like it, because it is really supposed to taste like this. Personally, I think it is a great brewed beer, but boring allthough it has a good and powerful honey taste.

Great golden body to it with good carbonation and a pur white head that turned into a thin lacing fairly quick. Aroma is subtle with a bit a fruit, hops, grains and a hint of sweetness. Taste is quite mild and smooth. Not very complex with some grains, malts, bread and a very little bit of hops. The finish is the key to this beer. Very smooth and slightly sweet with the honey showing through in the end. Probably one of the best honey ales I’ve had to date and would be great on a hot day. Perfect for someone just getting in to drinking beer.
