We brew our Michelob Honey Lager with European aromatic hops and toasted caramel barley malt for a balanced taste.
What makes this beer really special, however, is the addition of a touch of natural wildflower honey. It all adds up to a just slightly sweet and uniquely soft beer.

This beer pours a light amber color with a creamy head that dies off quickly and leaves very little lacing on the glass. The aroma was sweet, as expected with honey. Nothing much else in the nose. The flavor was not one of my favorites. It was sweet, but very bitter at the same time. I really didn't enjoy this beer very much.

L: Not quite yellow-orange, almost a dark gold; lots of clarity, plenty of carb with a small head that keeps up a thin layer for a minute and leaves very light lacing
S: Dust, all kinds of grains, and sweetness; a little floral hops?
T: Very much the same, sweetness at least isn't cloying, though mingles with grains in the finish; husky
F: Obviously thin, lots of carbonation but no depth of any kind; body has no real balancing dryness to it
O: It is what it is; some appreciation for beer would be nice of the brewers to employ

Has a little bit of obscuring clarity particles going through it, other than that it is in the solid yellow range with 1/5" white head. The aroma did give off sweetness as its first (and only?) component in the aroma department.
Taste, keeps dropping sweetness, too much, out of balance, not tasting the beercentric stuff, just adjunct like sweetness. Lots of carbonation. Lacking malt, hops, yeast flavors. Nothing balanced about it despite the commercial hand job. Do they still make this? It just doesn't resonate with me.
