Commercial Description:
This golden beer is refreshing, boldly crisp, full bodied, yet not overwhelmingly bitter. Locally harvested honey adds that delicate touch of sweetness that balances very nicely with newly developed aroma hops. This product is fermented with a classic Pilsner style yeast and allowed to lager several weeks before it is packaged.

12oz bottle at the Tagalong Golf Resort in Birchwood, WI. Dark yellow pour with a nice white head. Light malty, sweet aroma. Very smooth, a little honey and a nice hop bite in the finish, not bad.

Hazy gold pour, thin white head vanishes quickly, but does leave a few spots of lace. Aroma is faint, grassy hops, cereals. Honey really comes out in the flavor, also creamy, cereal elements. Definite funkiness in the finish; I’m ambivalent as to whether it’s a good funk or a bad one. Thin bodied, somewhat watery.

On Tap at the Great Lakes Brewfest. Mildly hazy golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of honey, corn and grain. Taste of honey, mild grassy hops and lemon.

Pours a cloudy, glowing tangerine-yellow color. What starts as a massive, billowing head of white foam slowly dissipates to a wispy film with a thin edge. Scant lines and traces of lacing mark the glass. The aroma hints at a mild infection, a bit of out-of-place funk interfering with a sweetly glazed, toasted malt background and perfumy, floral hops. Notes of honey really show up in the flavor, highlighting the toasted cereal grains and subtle floral hops. There’s a bit of a wild, almost sour yeast character that again seems to have stemmed from the beginnings of an infection. Medium-light bodied, with balanced carbonation and a floral, semi-sour finish. This would be a decent summertime brew if it were not for the infection, but I have to consider quality control matters in my rating.

Bottle. darker gold with a medium head. Hop aroma with a hint of honey. Smooth on the palate. Nice hop & honey flavor at start with a hop finish. Could have more of a pils flavor.

Pours a bright golden colour with a small white head. This beer had a nice pleasent barbecue smell to it. Not smokey, but when i smelled it, i noticed an outdoor wisc barbecue in the aroma. sweet honey fountain!!

(Bottle) Pours a golden color with a large white head. Aroma is of light citrus and some sweet malts. Actually, sweet honey notes come through well in this brew. Taste includes a typical crisp hoppy bite. Decent mouthfeel, but a bit overcarbonated. I feel like I have had a couple of overcarbonated beers from this brewery. All in all, a pretty good pils.

I feel like I’m reviewing the wrong beer. Although this was mega-carbonated, and a little fizzy, the honey hit just the right note to offset the hoppiness of the beer. As someone wrote, it’s hell to pour, but tastes good and is altogether enjoyable.
