Our Honey Weizen is an easy-drinking wheat beer made with a generous portion of honey from Missouri Honey in Florissant, Missouri! With a combination of white wheat malt, honey malt, and locally produced honey, the unfiltered Honey Weizen is a great example of a traditional wheat beer with a twist. The sweetness of the honey is balanced by Saaz hops, sure to please the discerning wheat beer lover and craft beer novice alike.

Nutty, Bready, Yeast, Gummy
Both Honey Malt and honey produced in Missouri lend an obvious name to this brew. The malt character does well throughout with bready and nutty tones though the yeast throws down pretty heavy with funk and a faint medicinal tone. Was hoping for this one to pop a bit more, a little more crispness and dryness would elevate this beer to quaffable heights.

I suppose it's okay for what it is but it just wasn't my style.

It started out really good, kind of like a hefeweizen but with a large honey and orange presence. The more I drank it though, the less I liked it. Still good, but nothing to rave about by the end. I think because the honey, orange, and orange zest flavors seemed too artificial.

22oz bottle. Poured out a slightly cloudy, straw-yellow color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of wheat, banana and spices. Sweet wheat and some spiciness.

On-tap at the bar serving local beer in STL airport, thanks to a flight delay. Tasted 24 June 2014.
Pours a bit hazy, the color of dark honey (though maybe that's the name influencing me). Brought with one finger of whitish lacing. Good retention, excellent lacing. Nice.
Smell is warm and sweet - a little more honey presence than I really want, as it dominates everything and smells rather like mead.
Taste is fine. Sorta hard to describe, but it's mostly straight, mildly bitter, and just bland. There's not all that much to latch onto. Even the honey is muted. Only the faintest hint of yeast.
Feel is okay. Has an odd slick quality that, combined with that mild bitterness, makes for a weird twang.
A meh beer. Nothing bad about it, but not much good that I have to say about it either.

Golden brown colored beer. Moderate to heavy foam on the pour with pretty solid head retention. Some light does penetrate the coloring. Strong aroma of wheat in the aroma and I also am able to get a whiff of honey. On the front of the palate I get wheat and then a strong burst of a cloying citrus like flavor that fades and burns away. I think it is actually honey, but would not have guessed that if I had not seen the bottle. Mouthfeel is a bit heated and that slight burn on the tongue isn't desirable.

22oz bomber poured into a pint glass. Deep golden-amber coloring with a low head that dissipated quickly, leaving minimal lacing. It smelled clean and refreshing, almost like soap. Mouthfeel was light-bodied but well-rounded, with a pleasant citrus aftertaste that lingered.
I like this one. Very drinkable, with a big citrus hit in the beginning, then a hoppy-lemon main course. The finish was sharp and clean. This would be a great summer session brew, one which I would definitely buy again.
