Crystal clear yellow colour with next to no head.

Slightly grainy pils malt aroma with a hint of honey.

Very light pils malt flavour with little else going on. Very empty finish. A touch lemony.

Light body with moderately-low carbonation.

A light, crisp and refreshing quaffer but it's a tad bit dull really.

A rotating tap featuring a light bodied lager flavored with Manuka honey. Poured from the tap at a chilled temperature into a pint glass.

Appearance- A honey yellow golden body. A limited head that is white and quick recedes to later thinly lace the glass. A lot of effervescence is present.
Smell- Manuka honey is the main scent. Full of flowers and a strong honey sweetness.
Taste/Mouthfeel- A crisp finish after a wave of honey hits you. There's not really any lager flavors to this, the light/sweet malt does come though after you get over the honey flavor. The honey is not as sweet as you would expect, rather it comes across as a bit tart and bitter.

Summary- One of the best honey flavored beers I have had. I'd highly recommend this if you enjoy honey or are just curious to see the difference that Manuka honey makes.
