Hazy peach-apricot color with a fingernail of stark white head. A bit darker than I thought.

Some aromas of sour vinegar soaked white bread, slight honey, pale malts, and some basic adjunct lager-type aromas. Like a Budweiser with some class.

Flavor brings the A game. It's much better on the palate, with a complex fruity-floral profile, complete with cantaloupe, white bread, white wine, and honey. It's actually very delicious while still staying restrained enough to easily drink and savor the flavors without concentrating too much.

Feel is actually pretty creamy to start, waving in with some mild carbonation that tightens up towards the finish.

This Honey Blonde ale may be the best of its kind. It's very tasty, easy drinking, not overly complex with adjuncts, nor is it fakey, it's just a solid little drinker. Pick up some if you get it in your area.

Nice yellow color, white head was persistent, smells like honey and crackers. Sweet flavor, honey like. Smooth bodied, light mouthfeel. An average honey blonde.

A: Pours a golden amber. Thin creamy head that lasts a respectable amount of time. Moderate carbonation, characteristic of your typical blonde.

S: Lots of honey. A respectable amount of malt. Hazelnut.

T: The honey really does add a lot. This honestly tastes closer to a Scotch ale than a blonde. Good dose of malt. Nutty. Goes down with a subtle lemony/clove-ish spiciness. Quite delicious.

F: Light, unoffensive.

O: I bought this not expecting much, mainly because it's a hot sunny summer day and I wanted something refreshing. But I actually think this is quite excellent. Probably an acquired taste, because it's certainly unique.

Pours a white, soapy head that has nice persistence. Grassy, yeasty aroma. Hazy gold, straw color. Starts with a slightly metallic, somewhat bitter flavor, and caramel popping through in the background. Finish has a little bit of malt on top of that.

This isn't very good. It's got an off flavor; slightly bitter, slightly caramel, with a little bit of yeasty malt.
