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.

Bottle. Pours with no head. Sweet and grainy nose with a hint of pleasant hops and very clean pale malts. Soda-pop fizzy with a sweet ginger ale quality to it. Really nothing too wrong with this beer, for what it is.

Light godl color with only traces of a head. The aroma was honey with some pears and fresh bread. The taste is slightly sweet cherries with some slightly sour lemons. The honey character is the very subtle sourness, rather than sweetness, if that makes sense. The mouthfeel is thin and light.

clear and golden with not much head. Sweet honey aroma with some citrus. Sweet and fizzy on the palate. Very clean and light. A bit watery.

No head created from the pour. Straw gold color with haze mixed through the glass. Flavor is malty and some corn. Almost no honey detected and resembles a cheap pale lager at least to me.

Poured cloudy yellow with a good head and heavy lacing. Aroma of malt and corn. Flavor is watery, soapy with a bit of malt with a funky soapy finish. Odd.

Pours a very light amber with a fast falling white head. Sweet fruit malt aroma, honey, and a touch of green hops. Very fruity start to the taste, with a slight apricot note and a touch of honey sweetness. Well balanced finish with a clean hop taste. Still this kept a very watery mouthfeel with a very light carbonation.

Pours with a golden body topped by a thin to medium thick, white head with some lacing. It’s slightly sweet with honey and malt, with a slighlty sour, grassy hop undertone. Light bodied and fizzy yet smooth.

Very light yellow, with just a touch of cloudiness you might expect from a pilsner. Corn aroma. Nice white head. Taste is corny, sweetness comes in to balance it out, but the finish is a funny shade of bitter. This must be Macs attempt at swill, at let me say they’ve done quite well. I can drink it....but I don’t want to.
