hopdog (4779), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 21, 2005 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. muzzlehatch (4429), Burlington, USA Feb 17, 2005 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. Cornfield (4412), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Oct 25, 2005 <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...

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. BBB63 (3843), La Porte, Indiana, USA Oct 12, 2004 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.
