Mexican Honey Noir
Indeed Brewing Company - Minneapolis

 

Appearance: Pours a clear, dark orange to amber color with a strong white head. SRM of 17. (4.00)

Aroma: Moderate aromas of dark grains, earthy honey, some faint citrus and floral notes. (3.75)

Flavor: Moderate flavors of dark grains, earthy honey, some hints of orange and floral blossom notes. A sweet honey flavor on the end. (3.75)

Feel: Medium-bodied, low carbonation. Slightly flat, but clean. (3.50)

Compared to 3 Sheeps Lightweight 3/2023: Pours lighter, lighter, similar head. Milder aromas. More pale bread/grains with honey. Less chocolate, coffee, roast.

Overall: A decent honey lager. Not as dark as I expected. Not much roast or black malt. Drinks more like an amber or ESB. Some mild dark grains flavors. A little too much blossom flavor. Honey gives it light floral and sweetness. A little soapy. Sweet grape flavors as it warms. Alright. (Rating: 3.69)

16oz can. Poured out a dark, dark brown color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of honey, coffee, chocolate and roasted malt. Sweet chocolate, toffee, caramel and a mild coffee bitterness.
