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.

Excellent out of a tap, Easy to Drink. Mild yet satisfying aroma. Gold appearance. Excellent flavor. Most will enjoy the smoothness. fantastic finish. Loved by all non hoppers, mild bitterness.

Aroma: If it was offered as room deodorizer I’d buy it in a second. Strange praise, I know. But it smells good. Appearance: Resembles an un-filtered brew. It’s cloudy, but interesting enough to wonder what the taste is like. Flavor: Sweet and smooth but it maintains a distinct hop note. Palate: The taste doesn’t linger but it leaves you wanting more. Overall: If I see it on a shelf without a sale tag it wouldn’t matter. I’d buy it anyway. It deserves an 18 because I can see myself drinking it any time, any season, any occation. Keep it pouring!

Very surprised at these low ratings. However, I have to admit, before I tried this one I expected it to be another disappointing American Standard, but I ended up being very impressed. I of course enjoyed the addition of the real honey, howver, I my favorite characteristics of this beer were it soft mouth feel and creamy flavor. Definitely one I would have again.

Actually, I rather enjoyed this. It was crisp and refreshing with a definite honey flavor on the tongue and in the finish. Good summer brew.

Slightly cloudy yellow, decent sized white head. Nice floral, honey-ish aroma. Surprisingly large honey flavor, too, that blends with a clean, crisp hop bite. Nice honey character throughout. Surprisingly tasty.

I really like honey beers and this one is a very good one. The only honey beer that i like better than this is Point Honey lager.

At this point I realize that I rate differently from most people at ratebeer. I score points for a beer when its exactly what it says it is. Again in this case. Its an ale, but it also tastes like the label says it should. Honey beer. I’ve had McTarnahans and I really like their stuff. This won’t set the world ablaze but it is what it is. Very nice brew.

Hmmmm... not bad. golden clear in color. nice bubbles. white retaining head. Surprisingly not too much of a honey taste to it at all.
