Honey Meade Lager
The St. George Brewing Company

16oz can, served in a milkshake pilsner glass. Canned on 12 Nov 24.

Appearance: Mostly clear with a bit of haze. Honey orange-amber gold color. Thin white head with strands of persistent lacing. Very nice color beer.

Smell: Definite sweet aroma of honey. Not getting much else.

Taste: Crisp and bitter up front, a tiny bit of a metallic note, and definite honey flavor. Hops come across as a mix of English style and noble hops.

Mouthfeel: Smooth, good carbonation, dry finish, a little sticky on the teeth.

Overall / Drinkability: Quite enjoyable all on its own after mowing the yard this morning. I was surprised how bitter the beer was - the honey is definitely there, but its a supporting accent to the base beer, which works out well. As it warmed up the sweetness got a little more pronounced. One was enough per session, but glad I picked up a 4 pack.

L: Orange, copper color, off white head, good lacing
S: Honey, malts
T: Malty sweetness, not much hop, slight honey
F: Light
O: Not bad. I could drink this any day.

 

I'm not much of a larger drinker, but I thought this looked interesting and picked up a single.

Overall, a very easy drinking, pleasant lager. Would definitely buy again.

Honey mead characteristics are subtle, but definitely present and give a nice flavor that lingers on the palate for quite a while.

Pours a clear, honey amber with moderate head that lingers on the glass.

Smell is subtle, honey, bready, and yeasty with dried fruit.
Taste, see above
Feel, crisp, pretty smooth.

 

 

From the bottle, it pours a hazy amber with a modest head, soon diminishing to a few bubbles and a ring. Honey scent in the nose. In the mouth you get a whap! of honey, with a malt base. Interesting.
