Water Street Honey Lager Light

Brewed by Water Street Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Delafield, Wisconsin USA

Absolutely see through. No life, no head. Not much for aroma, maybe a little barnyard hay. Flavor is... dammit - is this MGD? I swear the brewers yeast and bittering components are nearly identical. Waiting for the honey. Waiting...waiting... At most, it’s barely there. It’s like honey spread on a biscuit but postponed for consumption for several days until it all visible evidence has evaporated. Some citric souring with undying aggressive carbonation. Yeasty finish, and now we’re back to square one. Son of a bitch.

Not much to write about here. Hints of grassy hops in the nose, Tiny sweetness from the clover honey hides the harsh graininess that tries to overwhelm. Thin, watery, bad.

On tap at the Milwaukee location, bright pale yellow color, with no head, light sweet pale malt, with a hint of fresh wet cut hay, and a faint honeyed citrus peel aroma follows through on light-bodied palate with a crisp, faint zesty, citrusy, wet pale malt character, with a hint of honey, a light floral hop leafy accent, leading towards a citrus, lingering weak hop bitterness finish.

Piss-yellow body. Weak aroma, dusty grain husks. A cardboardy lager with some clover and honey notes.

Clear yellow, white head. Crisp, clean, light toast aroma. Grassy, dry, lightly malty taste. Not bad.

On tap at Water Street Brewery in Milwaukee. Pale yellow with thin white head. Aroma of corn and light honey. Taste of corn, mild honey and some light hop character. Finishes astringent.

A honey tasting pale lager is what it is and what it says it is. Light, sweet and easy to drink. Nothing fancy here.

No head retention. Clear yellow-amber color. Minimal grainy aroma. Sweetened wheaties taste with touches of pepper. Not bad for a light lager.
