A warm day, great friends and a good beer—It doesn’t get any better. In that spirit we present Shenanigans Honey Wheat Ale, our ode to the season. Brewed with Lemondrop hops, clover honey, and white wheat, Shenanigans Honey Wheat Ale has a zesty, citrus aroma, refreshingly dry body and notes of honey. So on those long, hot days, remember: summer is time for Shenanigans.

Golden, slightly hazy. Aggressive pour yielded a fleeting, coarse head followed by a thin. incomplete ring and no carbonation.
Not much aroma - brief coriander leaving faint grassiness and nondescript malt.
Honey oversold. Not a bad pale just not interesting.
Feel is fine - appropriate for the style.
Ok beer but disappointing based on the label. Kind of reminds me of a weak-kneed version of Fullers Honeydew. Not sure it would be that different if they omitted the honey .

Appearance: Pours a bright, golden orange color with a medium cloudiness. A large, yeasty and foamy white head forms on top. (3.75)
Aroma: Mild aroma. Citrus and wheat mostly. A little honey and cracker underneath. (3.75)
Flavor: Flavor follows the nose with really nice and light lemon citrus, mixed with a nice grainy wheat. Some light honey follows to balance the yeast. Finishes dry, but not astringent. Overall, the flavors are well balanced and tame. (4.0)
Feel: Yeasty uprfront. Well-carbonated in the middle and the yeast and honey clean the palate off nicely. (3.75)
Overall: A really well-drinking summer beer. It has everything you want in a summer beer. Nice lemon citrus, wheat, and even some honey that's not overpowering. Captures the best of a blonde ale to give the wheat beer another dimension and some malt power behind it. A great summer beer. (Overall: 3.93)

Enjoyable light summer ale with fruity aroma and pale malt graininess and fruity hopping, lemon, lime and orange with floral notes. Slightly tacky feel. Good light summer ale.

Pours a clear straw/honey golden yellow with a thick white head that recedes quickly but leaves some good lacing. Aroma is a bit muted, biscuits and lemongrass. Flavor is slightly sweet up front with some hop bitterness in the finish. Feel is crisp and clean. Overall a great low ABV beer.

Poured a slightly hazy, golden color with a fizzy, bubbly head of foam. It smelled of wheat, grains and grasses. It tasted of sweet wheat, toasted caramel and some citrus.
