Bottle. Amber--gold in color, with medium off-white head. Lots of retention in head. Nose is malty with honey aroma. Nice smooth taste. Mild honey in flavor, tad bit of bitterness in the end. Fairly decent for a honey ale--not overdone.

Little head, pours to a honey color. Slightly sweet, honey smell. Smooth, clean; mildly hoppy flavor. Unremarkable.

medium head, deep gold with a touch of red color. slightly bitter in the aftertaste a bit odd for the concept of honey.

Hazy amber colour with a small head. Nose is moderately sweet with loads of wheat. Flavour is good, touch of honey, but with the same out-of-place bitterness found in their raspberry.

Disappointing. Great Divide has many good beers. This isn’t one of them. Hazy amber with small white head. Wheat nose with little if any honey to it. Moderate body and unimpressive mouthfeel. Flavor left much to be desired. Don’t waste your time.

Cloudy orange in colour. the nose is wheaty with some other organic-ish hints. The taste and the nose do not have much honey to it at all. Kind of difficult to drink. Understand tho, I am not that big of a fan of the wheat flavour.

Visited the brewery in Denver and had a great time with Bernie, one of the brewers. Nothing like a great friendly brewery! This is a dark yellow beer that’s syrupy, with evident honey character. Very sweet with an underlying malt. Good, but not as good as their others.

Poured a cloudy orange-yellow with a big white head that disappeared quickly leaving a lasting thin one. Aroma of honey and fruit flavored O’s. Flavor is of honey and a little corn/grain. Lightly sweet. Finish is thin and somewhat disappointing.
