Slightly cloudy with weak head and good lacing. Refreshing very light honey flavor with a mostly hop aftertaste.

Pale yellow color. Candy sugar nose. Really tart, and needs more sweetness to fulfill its promise of being a "honey" beer. I think there's apricot in here.

good straw color medium sized foamy white head with a mild amount of staying power.Malty aroma with a mild amount of hops,and maybe even a slight honey aroma as well.The taste is very different malty beginning with a slight citrus tone to it with the honey coming in,in the middle of the taste.kind of sweet but in a mild sort of way.i guess i was looking for more of a honey burst from this brew but it just isn't there,like the SueBee honey is.An ok brew but definately needs more honey to get me going.

I finally cultivated a taste for fruit beers, but I can't say the same about beers with honey in them. How high can you rate a style that you just don't like?

Golden color with strong notes of honey.Not alot of body to this but its more of a summer drink.It was nothing to write home about

Acidic and unsatisfying. Grainy overall with no real character to help quench this thirst besides the fact that it is a liquid.

Very refreshing "hot weather" beer. Very subtle taste of honey with some citrus notes makes it really good. Not a complex beer, but still quite good.

This beer pours a very orange color with a minimal head and minimal lacing. The aroma was full of citrus - I couldn't detect much more. The flavor was surprisingly smooth and enjoyable. There was a lot of citrus and hints of honey in the flavor. This beer doesn't have a ton of character, but it was very smooth and I would have another. The aftertaste wasn't as great as the initial flavor, but it still wasn't bad at all.
