Ramapo Valley Passover Honey Beer

Brewed by Ramapo Valley Brewery
Style: Mead
Hilburn, New York USA

Clear golden body with almost no head. The nose is weak but there’s definitely hints of honey there. Flavor is a watery lager dominated by honey. That’s it. Drinkable, but not even close to enjoyable.

Ha! Mead. Right. I guess it is technically but who cares?

Very clear honey color w/ no head as you would expect in a beer like concoction made w/o any sort of grain. Nose is floral. Something about it reminds me of ginger ale. Actually--despite my ealrier comments, this does taste something like a mild sparkling mead. The honey is right out front w/ some fruity and floral notes. Carbonation is sharp and prickly. Overall a decent beer like concoction. I think others are being overly harsh.

This is a bad version of a honey beer, not even worth trying. It barely has any taste of honey but there is sweetness in the aroma. Pours with no head, very thin beer, and very little taste. Pass on it.

bottle-This thing has to be the worst beverage i have ever had. To think that this beer sells for 10 bucks a 6pk is repulsive. Pours very bright neon yellow with a small fizzy white head. The aroma is awful-smells like a chlorine pool and paint thinner, alka seltzer and glue. AWFUL! This is #$%&*!@ AWFUL!!! flavors taste very chlorine laden and taste like a freshly scrubed toilet smells like. 2 sips and i dumped this bitch!

12 oz bottle: clear sparkling white grape juice appearance with tiny bubbles streaming into a creamy white head. Floral & perfumy hop aromas. Very mild and almost indistinct flavour that dances around green apples and flower petals before winding up on a strange bitterness. It didn’t taste horrible, but it just wasn’t interesting…

Clear yellow body with a thin, light white head. Big bubbles. Sweet, light aroma of honey, apple cider, perfume, old bread and a touch of floral hop character. Thin body exaggerated by the big bubbled carbonation. In the mouth, it shows off a unique tartness that accompanies the sweet flavors and fizzy body. A light, quick finish. This didn’t do much for me.

12oz bottle via trade with Lou18 - Thanks Lou! Pours pale golden with a short white head that fades fast and lively carbonation rises to the top. Aroma of light honey and a little soap. Sweet flavor you can find the honey quick. Behind that though it seems a little sour to me. Light well carbonated palate. I think I prefer gluten...

"Enjoy this unique creation made with water, molasses, hops, honey and Passover yeast." Actually, I did, but not all that much. I think the honey should’ve been moved up on the ingredient list, but that would have bolstered the ABV more than was apparently intended. You can almost hear the bubbles popping as the initially large head rapidly vanishes. Nice gold color with a continual stream of carbonation. The aroma is honey sweetness with a whiff of a cleansing product. Nice and alive in the mouth. Basically it tasted like a cheap sparkling white wine with a dash of honey tossed in. It does have a nice dry finish.
