Pizza Port California Honey Ale

Brewed by Pizza Port (Carlsbad)
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Carlsbad, California USA

On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours a slightly hazy yellow color with a crisp, dense white head, sheet lace. Smells faintly malty, dish towel and sweet. Tastes of honey and malts, a little nutty as well. The most honey I’ve ever tasted in a beer. Medium body, which was nice for such a light ale. Moderate carbonation.

on draft at Carlsbad Pizza Port. Medium gold with thick white head ringing the sides of the glass. Honey flavor is pronounced. Aroma is a mixture of honey, grass and dust. Smooth beer, with a hoppy floral ending finish. Like eating clover dipped in a beehive.

Sweet fizzy smell, soft golden color. No head, appeared to look flat. Heavy taste for a lighter beer. Pick up a hint of orange in taste.

On tap at Taproom in Pacific Beach, San Diego, CA--Golden yellow body with no head. Biscuit nose with sweet creamy English notes. Biting, crisp, and robust mouthfeel. Well carbonated but not very momentous. Nice grainy finish that made this worth checking out and highly sessionable.

I dare call the aroma of honey pleasant?? It’s only barely distinguishable in the flavor but it’s still a pretty unremarkable beer. Smooth and drinkable.

Draught at Pizza Port Carlsbad
Pours a copper gold color with a thin layer of head and moderate lacing. The nose is lightly herbal with some honey and a light earthy hop nose; some light biscuity malts. The flavor is clean and herbal with more columbus like hops. Nice and balanced. Yum.

From tap at Carlsbad. Pours clear and golden yellow with a white head. Aroma is sweet and of light honey. Light herbal honey touch in the flavour to a nice sweet malty base flavour. Light spiced hoppy too. Lingering sweet honey finish with a light hops bitterness.

Sample at the brewpub. This beer is a clear golden color with a thin white head that burns away quickly. Top ring of lacing with spots underneath. Light honey, hops and bready malt in the nose. Light-bodied and mildly hoppy with a sweet malt and honey undertone. The finish is sweet with a hint of hops in the aftertaste. Pretty average overall.
