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 dark golden with thin white head. Aroma- honey, grain and some unclean/adjunct notes in the background. Flavor is bready with very slight floral hops, also some stale beer taste.

Tastes like a hand-crafted American macro lager beer. A touch less corny than MGD or Bud but very close. So why should I pay $6.50 US a sixer for this stuff? I shouldn’t and neither should you. I apollogize to the bees for wasting their good honey.

Sample at Oggi’s in Santa Clarita, CA. Pours a crystal clear pale golden color with a medium thin white head that dissipates quickly. Minimal lacing is apparent. Light honey and malt aroma. Light-bodied with subtle malt, honey and hops flavors. The finish is short and sweet, without much aftertaste. Not worth revisiting overall.

Tasted like a medium-flavored lager with faint honey. A little carbinated and fairly drinkable. It was alright.

Cloudy, flat yellow-green pour with diminishing head. macro-lagerish aroma, mild flavor. I didn’t really notice the honey at all. likely my first and last.

Pours a honey color (go figure..) with a large white head. Smells a lot like lemons. Sweet on the palate, but lacks a little in flavor. Not bad, but could have been better.

Thin on the palate but I overall think that it was pretty good. Sweety with a small hopsy presence that, while faint, is still present. Not bad but nothing special. A good refreshing beer.
