Viking Brewing Honey Pale Ale

Brewed by Viking Brewing Company
Style: English Pale Ale
Dallas, Wisconsin USA

Pours a decent enough head with musty aroma of fresh bread. Nutty, but also some paper or cardboard, with a malt finish. Hops are resered but add a bit of melon or weak citrus. Rolls in the mouth both wet and dry if that is possible. I wouldn’t call this an English Pale Ale at all. I agree with JPDIPSO...too sweet.

Clear dark golden to tan color with a modest cream colored bead. A heavy vale of lace. Pale and caramel malts mingle with a hint of pipe tobacco. If I didn’t like pipe tobacco, I likely would have knocked the aroma down a spot or maybe even two. Quite sweet with cream and pale malts abounding. One of only a few were the honey sweetness still seems to be present. The real honey with a touch of wax. To sweet for a pale. without enough hops to back things up.

Pale amber hue, brief white head. Big sweetness in the nose, wide open, malty...in the flavor, it feel too corny and flat, missing a lot of what I’d what in a pale ale...little hops, thinly bodied. Wasn’t too hot on this...not terrible,but not as good as I’d like...inches away from tasting like damp cardboard. Unimpressive, to say the least.

Brown Coloring. Small Head. Some Honey and Malt. Very Well Balanced and Quite Enjoyable!

Light copper color with a thin head. A little touch of dry honey on the nose. It struck me as being maltier than a typical Pale... ah, it’s English Pale, not American. That explains it. Good balance. Tasty!

Has a hops taste that was barely present in the honey moon. Gold, small head. Aroma of honey. Flavor was mild with honey and very light hops; a little sweet. Refreshing. Well done.

Part of a haul to Hudson, WI to get another beer, but got some Viking too. 1 pint 6 oz bottle poured a clear golden color with a nice head and no lace. The aroma was quite subtle - mostly hints of honey. The flavor was also mild with some hop and a mild honey taste. The palate was OK.

MABR-Golden color,small head,hoppy aroma mild honey at best.the flavor was fairly well hopped sweet and mild honey,with a hoppy sweet after taste.not bad.
