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.

Poured a medium and hazy golden color with a very large sized (4.5 finger) with head. Aromas of soapy honey. Tastes of honey with very light grain. Light honey sweetness. Lively, highly carbonated and thin body that leaves with a crisp finish.

12 oz bottle. Hazy light amber-gold with a small lasting snowy cap...fresh, sparkling lemony-grassy nose, very clean...light honey sweetness dominates the front, bitter grasses take over late, something of a 7UP quality, nice body with a juicier finish than usual, fairly high carbonation. This bottle was at least 3 months old and was still quite good; I expect it would be top-notch when absolutely fresh.

<i>Pils?</i> I think not. Shouldn’t it have at least one characteristic of the style? It had an aroma of dried out honeycombs, a nasty sweetness. The flavor was disagreeable, tart and metallic. No hop aroma, no hop bitterness... NO PILSENER!<br /><br /><font size=-4>Thanks & a tip o’ the hat to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=28565><u>El Borracho</u></a> and <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=18266><u>RAYBOY01</u></a>.<font size=-1><br />

Straw color with a nice lightly whipped egg white head. Light dry honey and chablis aroma. Malt sweetness predominates. Very well done beer. No real fault evident. Nice balancing hops bitterness and honey driness. Very nice effort for this style.

Bottle: Hazy golden hue with a small but lasting frothy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of honey nut cereal, aromatic and slightly piney hops, buttered wheat toast, and a twangy orange zest. The taste is shockingly tart and acidic, the honey is buried beneath the hops and twangy yeast. Fruity a bit with a dry and snappy finish. The feel is lively and metallic. This brew is hardly sweey at all, in fact I was disappointed by the lack of honey in the flavor. Still quite quaffable and a brew your non-geek freinds may like.
