I tried this beer on tap on April 9, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy yellow-gold colour with a 1" thick white head. The aroma was grainy malt, some honey, and some hops. The mouthfeel was full-bodied, slightly creamy, and medium carbonation. The flavour was slightly hoppy with some grapefruit flavour coming through. A very refreshing beer which went down easy!

500ml bottle poured a golden clear ale in the tankard with a 1 inch rocky cap that reduced to a surface lace. Aromas of crystal malt, clover, soft spice and light wiffs of musty sweetness ( Honey?) Medium bodied...Decent Carastan malt spine, creamy mouth feel, well rounded mellow character, very smooth delivery. Up front we get a big whack of Crystal malts and light challenegr hop tastes which give a bread and spice impression...midway the honey is detectable but the hops keep it from cloying, then the finish is drying and malty with a light kiss of the honey acting as a sharp reminder there will be no bitter after taste . Far from being "sweet" this ale is smooth, malty balanced and extremely drinkable. I take this brew as a second Fuller’s favorite next to their porter. It’s so drinkable and enjoyable I’d be tempted to make this a favored session ale but at 3.50 a 1/2 liter the price prohibits that.

Surprisingly balanced, delicious ale with honey just supporting the ’good bones’ of the structure and not getting in the way one bit. The way it should be with unusually flavored beers, or should I say it kicks the ass of typical american honey lagers. I like the hops very much... Wow, it’s organic too? I’ve never met an organic veggie I did not like the taste of. Go Fullers, I’m buying more of this just because it’s organic AND tastes great.

50 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Golden clear colour with a nice frothy head. Nice aroma of sweet honey and hints of malt. Nice smooth flavour of malt and hints of hops, ends up with a domination og honey. Very smooth and nice.

Golden. Very sweet aroma, flowers. Smooth flavor, not watery as it could’ve been. Perfect balance of hops, malt and, yes, honey. Nice finish with a touch of bitterness. Tastes like summer.

Light, light amber in colour with a peculiar phosphorescence in certain light. Aroma and flavour profiles are nearly identical, with each exhibiting round malt and sweet, slightly floral honey. The palate is nice and creamy. Pretty good stuff, especially for a honey beer.

Great beer. The aroma was vey pleasant. I could not taste any honey in the flavor however. The beer is a beautiful brown amber colour. However this beer is one of my favourites.

Coloração dourada-clara intensa, creme denso e persistente. No aroma e no sabor, o mel está presente, valorizando a proposta dessa breja. A sensação é de uma cerveja um tanto suave, mas com personalidade. O final é longo e doce, também com a presença do mel. Fácil de beber e muito refrescante.
