So on the day after Christmas I headed down to Bullseye in Smithtown with a solid load of recycling and picked this as one of my rewards for myself afterwards, I was a little surprised I hadn't tried this before, as it is a Oyster Bay staple. This is easy drinking, with low carbonation and a bit of sweetness in the finish that kind of justifies the honey. It isn't very exciting, but serviceable.

A: Pours a relatively clear medium golden apricot in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and light to moderate amounts of amber + honey orange + medium golden yellow colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall foamy light beige head that reduces to a large patch of very slightly mottled thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Light to moderate aromas of pale + toasted + bready malts with a light to moderate amount of honey sweetness and light aromas of grassy + floral hops.
T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of pale + toasted + bready + wheat malts with a light amount of honey sweetness. That is followed by light flavors of grassy + floral hops which impart a light amount of lingering bitterness.
M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Initially slightly crisp.
O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and not overly sweet even with the presence of honey. Enjoyable but kind of simple, not one that I would go out of my way to find again.
