A hazy orange beer with no head. The aroma is very sweet with clear notes of honey. The flavor is sweet and very carbonated with strong notes of honey as well as hints of wheat.

Cloudy and peach colored with floaters and a quickly lost white head. Noticable honey aroma with some spicy hops and caramel and wet cardboard. Sour. Bad bottle.

Clear amber with a dense off-white head that collapses quickly. The aroma is string sweet honey and citrus detectable during the pour. Sticking my nose down in the glass I get lots of raw grain (ceral) and some floral hoppiness. The flavor is also lloaded with honey, much less orange character than in the aroma. A hint of earthiness behind the floralness. Light spritzy body. Dry finish. Very forgettable.

Golden color with n ohead. Aroma of very raw and dry honey, like long empty honeycombs. More of the same in the taste with a mustiness over it. I thought this was quite nice; a shame it’s retired.

Cloudy bright golden pour. Honeycomb yeast aroma. Flavor adds strawberry, lingonberry, and something more to flesh out a touch astringent yet sweet. Palate a bit watery, finishing clean with chamomile and clover honey nose. Sad to see that this is retired--I bought the last sixer at Zipps and I would have bought it again.

Bright gold with minimal head. Smells of honey and syrup. Very bitter, but rather good. Lots of honey scents and flavors.

Pours Golden/Yellow with a light white fizzy head, carbonation is high. Aromas are of honey, white sugar. Tastes like I just ate a piece of PEZ candy. Thin and fizzly in the mouth. Too sweet for me, more like a can of pop than a bottle of beer.

bottle-dont know vintage (pretty old i would guess). pours a light golden hue with heavy carbonation. big sticky white head with lots of lacing. aroma of light citrus, honey sweetness and a touch of malt husk. flavors of pale malt husks and some light honey-very sweet. no hop pressence to speak of. not bad, but definately an ok move for GD to get rid of this one
