Commercial Description:
Here’s the original honey beer. Crisp and refreshing, with a hint of sweetness. To craft the beer, we enlist the talents of several million local bees for their pure, white clover honey. Our brewmaster then blends the ambrosia with select, two-row barley malt and balances it with prized Willamette hops. While the bees reluctantly part with their honey, The Great American Beer Festival enthusiastically receives it, as they’ve awarded OHB a silver medal in a category with more than 60 blonde ales.

An orange beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of caramel, but also light alcoholic notes. The flavor is sweet and again with primary notes of caramel, while the body is thin.

Bottle: nice golden pour with a small white head. Taste is a bland maltiness with no real character. What honey are they talking about? Smooth, yet unflavorful and unimpressive.

Sort of a light malty aroma. Budweiser color with a really frothy head. Starts with arguable honey, something like wet paper follows, then it definitely has honey, but that weird flavor keeps coming back. Not a deal of hop. It’s there, just not a lot. It is crisp, but not dry. It gets more palatable as the bottle is consumed.

Clear and golden in color with small quickly rising bubbles. Weak midpalate with slight honey taste.

Pours like a mass-market lager - clear golden yellow with a small white head. Actually has decent retention. The nose is very thin and light. I found mainly malty cereal aromas as well as some light citrus hopping. The flavor is a little better (that is, you can taste the beer). More bready malts and some citrus hop. The honey in this honey beer is a little tough to pick up. This beer is medium to light on the palate with a malty aftertaste. I rarely say this, but I’d like a little more hop presence in this beer.

Slight sweetness in the aftertaste of this one, but a pretty average brew, quite bland. On tap at National sports grill

12 oz bottle. Aromas were weak. Didn’t get any honey. Golden pour didn’t have much head. Flavors were only slightly sweet in the finish. Still didn’t find the honey. Dissapointing
