Light and crisp, our Honey Pilsner has great flavor for an easy drinking beer. It is golden in color, with subtle fruit-like flavors balanced with noble hops. A delicate floral aroma is achieved with addition of honey, which is sourced from the Ebert Company, an Iowa-based apiary. Drink carefully, you might catch a buzzzzz!

Pretty poor from the start and it doesn't get much better. Looks weak. Clear golden straw, slightly green-tinted with no discernible head besides a small ring of bubbles. A great deal of honey on the nose, a bit of funk. Too much sweet, too much bitter, bad balance. Nothing special going on besides the roasty sweetness of the aftertaste. Very meh but light enough to put back without any offense.

L: pours a hazy light gold, more on the yellow size with an off white head.
S: you can smell the honey but it has an unpleasant funk to it
T: The taste is light and sweet. Malty with the taste of honey in the back. It's alright
F: Creamy with nice carbonation.
O: I didn't like this beer too much. Not a drain poor but not something that I would buy again.

Excellent beer! However you get more of the honey taste out of a keg as opposed to the bottles, such place like the Iowa Cubs game at the concession stand. Very clean and smooth, and the pilsner style hops compliments the honey.
