A beer with a lot of honey - that sounded good at the liquor store. Big Let down. A very light transparent washed out yellow color, a foul aroma, a watery taste. What's worse I've tasted more honey by getting stung by a bee! Kind of acerbic unpleasant aftertaste. Maybe it was so bad b/c expectations were high.

Light, like Lite. Nasty scent, sour and foul. Skunked macro. Taste has loads of honey, some cookie/biscuitish malts. Decent balance, astringent at end. Absolutely nasty as it warms, was decent cold but anything resembling regular drinking temperature gets very unpleasant quickly.

Had this bottled in Stevens Point Wisconsin. Sweet aroma, little head, sweeter than most ales with slight overtones of lime. Decent.

Pale straw color,small white head that faded quite quickly.Malty aroma with a mild honey note,4 kinds of hops and none are detectable in the aroma,Interesting.There is a fairly sweet side to the aroma as well.Light malty taste,sweet with only a light honey presence.The after taste is mild sweet malt with very nearly no honey presence,and the hops still haven't shown up for the party.Watery feel kind of macroish in many ways.Is this a good brew no,average at best it is fairly drinkable but little else as far as goodness goes.

Not great. Just not a whole lot of flavor. Tastes kind of like a macro swill with a tinge of sweetness.

Clear light gold color with a medium white head. Aroma of honey and malt. Not very sweet kind of stale that finishes dry. I found something off about this beer. Like Leinenkugels Honey Weiss it tastes alot like Bud lite.

Bottle. Slightly hazy straw colow with a somewhat thin white head. Light grass, dry honey and touch of DMS(cream corn) in the aroma. Hazelnut flavors and touch of dry malt. I've had this on tap before and found it more enjoyable than this sample, but maybe it was the best choice out of a bunch of macros.. I'll rerate if a fresher sample warrants.
