An old semi-regular drinker back in the early undegraduate days, it was fizzy and yellow with a decently-present fake honey and sugar flavor. Appealed more as a fruit beer with its sweetness.

Not a bad beer, but it needs more of something in it to make it better. Honey, maybe?!! False advertising, sure, but it’s not bad.

I had this beer a couple of years ago and haven’t seen it at my local stores for a while, When I had it, Nice pale red, more of a brown color, some head, with not a lot of lacing, the taste was great....if it was stronger, a satisfying beer...

Ok, I do not care for beer with honey flavor. This beer was decient quality, somewhat sweet. Color seemed yellow, goldish like. Had decient fruity notes. Im not a fan of this though.

I like this stuff, it’s Shiner’s differently flavorful relative. Good wheaty taste.

Although perhaps not as bad as I make it out to be, not what I would consider to be a true (or at least well made) wheat beer in thge European sense. When you see HONEY in a name, be afraid. Okay, that’s a gross generalization, but so was this beer.

One of my favorite shiners, I probably like it better than their winter ale. Regular Shiner with a kick. I dont know if they even make this anymore since they started putting out the hefe.
