12oz bottle acquired in trade with daknole (thanks!). Poured a deeper and cloudy golden color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of honey and tart berries. Tastes of caramel, honey, and sweet berries.

( 12oz bottle, courtesy of Cavie ) Pours a hazy amber body with a small white head. Aroma of caramel, florals, herbs, honey, and apple. Flavor of caramel malt, florals, breadiness, and honey.

Bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of honey, earth, some floral hints. Tastes earthy with some fruity hints, touches of honey and a hint of rose hips. Watery finish.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a slightly hazy uncarbonated orange colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was malty and mead like honey. The semi-flat mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The mild flavor contained notes of mild honey malts and floral in nature. A horrible one that I would rather not drink again.

12 oz bottle. Pours orange with red with a small head. Im not sure what rosehips smell like but the aroma here is honey and oranges. Tastes like it comes out of a can, and not the new lined cans. Theres a bit too much honey in this. These people ought to be ashamed of themselves but then, their market is Florida.

Bottle. Small off-white mostly diminishing head, very little visible carbonation, very little lacing, and a golden orange hue. The aroma was sweet, honey, malt, and flowery. The flavor was sweet, acidic, malty, honey, and finished dry. The mouthfeel was tingly and this beer is light in body. This was a difficult beer for me to finish as I did not care for the overall flavor. It just did not cut it for me. Sorry Florida Beer Company.
