Bottle: This seemed like a honey wheat gone bad. Pale straw colored and headless, I swear I could smell the honecomb wax in here. Very light in the flavor department, praise be. The finish was abrupt and welcomed.

Tap at the brewpub. Ultra light straw color with a thin dishwater white head. Light honey and caramel corn aromas, just in time for halloween. Flavors are not quite what I was expecting. Which is mildly surprising. A dry honey flavor, accentuated by a light clover finish. Really not much there, but decently made and quite drinkable.

From 12-oz bottle at the Northwoods brewpub, pours a light golden pale blonde brew with hardly any head, just a few bubbles. Aroma of light sour berries, some honey and corn/wheat malt. Taste is slightly flat, hint of sour malt, watery, with a very clean finish. An average summer light sour brew.

Pale gold color with a thin head. Slightly rotten, sweet aroma. Lots of and lots of bland goodness in the taste. Seriously, it’s just colored water. Not offensive, but just blah. Bad way to end a marathon trip through Wisconsin and Illinois.

Appearance: Pours a clear, bright yellow body with a thin, wispy white head. Smell: A light aroma of corn niblets, discount honey, and lemon wedges. Taste: While corn and honey can come together to create candy corn, a Halloween delight, they don’t go well together in a beer. Light, tart citrus flavor and faint spicy hops on the finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: This is one bee that needs to die off.

Gold Coloring. Honey Aroma. Sweet Honey Taste...Albeit a very Subtle One... Light Hops Poking Out at the End and Some Very Light Spice In There as Well. Pretty Simple Straightforward Brew....Lacking Character or Depth.

Who is this Bubba and why does he bumble so? Why does his brew buzz? And why is his hat for sale? Let’s open and find out. Maybe it won’t be as bad as the last two I had... Clear, pale yellow color, no head at all, not even a sliver or a slice.Disappointing. Aroma: honeyish, sweet, then sharp, and sickly (I said it again)...after that, empty, vacant, and vapid. Taste: limp, flaccid, and signifying nothing. Pale, lifeless, containing no desirable qualities. Like getting down in a canoe, if you follow me... Extraordinarily light in body, lacking any kind of flavor, no finish...no start...not sure what they were trying to do with this one. They got the pale part right, but there’s nothing ale-ish about it, nor anything particularly pleasing. Very sad. Needs more beer in here.
