Commercial Description:
For centuries, brewmasters have used honey as an ingredient in beer to enhance a brew's naturally sweet, creamy flavor. Our Honey Lager is brewed in this tradition, using all natural honey and the finest barley malts for rich, smooth taste and a deep golden color.

Kudos to the AB brewers for trying, but a fail if they were trying to create a good beer. This one is just above really bad but it smashes the regular macro brewed lagers...so it gets a bit of a better score. This one has some decent honey and malt flavors with a bit of decent aroma.

I really dont get the adding honey to beer thing. As someone who does not have a sweettooth I can tell that it will not work for me, still it was a free offer for me. By my account this was just like Michelob but a llittle sweeter.

bottle - Pours clear light amber with a thin white head. It has a mild aroma of sweet malt and honey. The flavor is of sweet honeyed malt, very sweet, and has a touch of hops in the finish. It’s light bodied and leaves a slightly unpleasant aftertaste.

It’s like Michelob... with honey. So as you may have guessed, not very good. If you need a cheaper honey lager go with JW Dundees. The main problem is with the aftertaste, kind of sour and gets worse when you burp.

(Bottle) Pours a light amber color with a small, fizzy white head. Little in the way of aroma. However, more taste than I expected. Sweet malts and distinct clover honey make up the taste. Normally, a beer like this would have been too sweet for my liking... but the dry character helped it out quite a bit. Decent mouthfeel and carbonation. Dare I say I was pleasantly surprised with this beer?

Bottle. Pours light orange. Smell of honey and typical A-B. You can taste a hint of honey, but mainly taste like a Michelob Lager. Drinkable, but not worth buying again.
