fiulijn (5860), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Aug 3, 2008 Draught at the brewpub Deep blond color. At first it shows some nice hop aroma, but it disappears quickly, the some very light honey aroma. It’s a simple Ale, with smoothened corners, a bit sweet. joss (3120), Garching b. München, Germany Jul 8, 2008 big bottle. Cloudy orange,low white layer. Light fruity nose, apricot tropical. Light body. Light fruity malt base. Easy drinkable, not nasty in any way. DuffMan (1939), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Apr 8, 2008 Slightly hazy bright gold, lacey white head. Sweet pale malt aroma. Lagery pale malt palate, on the sweeter end with discernable honey character. Sweet lagers just aren’t my thing really. Beershine (1214), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Nov 1, 2007 Honey hue is nice. Good head as many of Howe Sound’s beers have. Honey beers aren’t usually my thing, though. It’s not that this one is sweet, it’s just not interesting enough for me. A little of that diacetyl stuff is noticable in this one too. Heffman (5), North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada does not count Jan 23, 2007 I enjoyed this brew at the inn itself in Squamish and raved about it. Okay, I had three bottles but please don’t let the wife know....I was happy to find it at the park royal liquor store a few weeks later at which time I bought six of the large one litre bottles to take home to the mrs (and others)...
back to the beer itself, it was a clean, refreshing product with a nice honey nose, and I’m not talking about the nice waitress tho her nose was cute too....the beer had a real nice malt character to it...it sure poured a nice head with a good fine carbonation---not too gassy like I’ve tasted amongst the commercial beers....
this is a great beer well worth tasting (over and over)
Cheers,
TD
