This was the 2nd best of the collection but that isn't saying much. Malty overload with most everything about this beer average although the taste was a bit too sour and knocked it down a notch. I won' t be drinking it again unless it's free. The honey ginger was the only brew in this collection I'd buy again. They should have sold this package in 4 oz vials rather than 12oz bottles.

Had yhis back in October of 2006:
Appearance: Medium head with some staying power. Opaque, medium brown appearance.
Taste: Clean and light taste, mildly hopped flavor. Dry aftertast.
Comments: Excellent beer. Very light taste, but clean and refreshing. Less hoppy than most wheat beers. Hint of caramel in the aroma.
