Commercial Description:
A refreshingly smooth, full-bodied lager, with a subtle touch of all natural honey which creates a slightly sweet finish.

Horrible aroma (possibly skunked), rich amber color, small lasting head, heavy lacing. Initial: Hoppy with a slight, sweet, honey taste, slightly bitter, strong carbonation does not suit this beer, very palatable. Finish: Not quite honey, but you get that honey aftertaste. No hops, some malts. The flavor doesn’t linger on your tongue, something I like. Overall: A good beer, maybe less carbonation, more honey and stronger malt presence. I would buy again, especially for the price (4.99 @ class 6 WPAFB).

Sampler pack from Albertson’s.

Honey Brown Lager: Pours a copper colored body and a wispy white head. The aroma has light hints of honey, cereal, and sweet corn. The body is thin and very effervescent. There is nothing desirable here… nothing at all. This is a waste of good space in the Albertson’s cooler. Nonetheles, this beer was better tha the Cream Ale but overall: IT SUCKED!
And I’m pissed that I have three bottles of this swill left to dispose of! !

Bottle pours dark honey colour with large white head that lasts 35s. Pleasant with any sandwhich. Flavour is overly sweet. The one downfall is the lack of balance.

Bottle.From 3-beer variety pack. Preety good. Decent, full flavor. Better than most of the "honey brown" beers out there.

I smell a hint of honey in the aroma, along with wood and yeast. The color is brown gold with a red hue. The head is not that big. The flavor is nothing special mainly because I don’t taste the honey. I have had sweeter beers made from corn. This is supposed to be a honey lager right? I do taste the hops which are lacking in most lagers of this style. The palate is fairly good. Better than your average lager I guess but not by much. Slightly nutty aftertaste.

on tap in London. The appearance is clear chestnut amber. Woody, sweet, lager nose. The taste has metallic notes. A pleasant but flat flavor.

Aug, 2005. Keg @ the Crown & Sceptre, Fitzrovia. The mild honey flavour did not fully compensate for the stale flavour. The fizz was harsh & aggressive - but understandable. A drinkable beer [1.5]
May, 2006 Keg at <a href=http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/37/373 Leaf, Covent Garden Thin, dry and fizzy but with some sweetness that could taste of sugar puffs or commercial honey. Mainly inoffensive. [1.8]

Very watery mouthfeel with a mild honey sweetness, but so inconsequential as to be easily missed. I basically remember the spritziness, it distracted me from the thinness of the body.
