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.

350 ml bottle from Trader Joe’s. Clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Faint malty aroma. Faint honey bread taste.

Pours a deep gold with yellow highlights and a thin off-white head. The aroma has sweet malts and honey. The flavor follows the nose: light, delicate, and sweet with flavors of caramelized malts, honey, and sugar. Hops are virtually nil. The finish is medium in body and refreshing. The mouthfeel is nice - and creamy. Overall, on the bottom rung of beers that were available in the sampler at the Pyramid Alehouse in Seattle.

Hazy golden colored pour with little head. Decent ale aroma with hints of honey. Bitter malty finish. Not impressed.

12oz bottle. Poured a lighter and clear golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas and tasats of honey and grainy. Nothing to write home about but not overly offensive either.

I am surprised by how low this one is ranked, maybe a lot of people were using it to chase a stout. Certainly doesn’t have the complexity of a darker beer, but for a blond ale, this beer is a treat. I would gladly have another one of these and was surprised by this gimmicky beer.

Deep golden yellow, poor head retention. Stinky wet hair aroma. Bland palate, on the sweet side, with a boxboard finish. Quite poor.

Nice baby beer smells a bit of cut grass, easy on the palete I serve this as a beginers beer.

Bottle. Poured golden with fast disappearing white head. Hoppy aroma with a smack of skunk. Malty flavour with a sliver of honey then metal in the finish. Not one I’d go seeking out
