6-pack from the brewery
Clear golden color. Massive white head with good retention.
Honey flavor is subtle.

Very easy drinking, smooth and sweet. Reminds me of Sam Adams Summer ale. A nice break from hoppy IPAs.

Poured out of a 12 oz can into one of my pokal glasses, this beer pours a mostly clear, light to medium golden color with some streams of little bubbles continuously and fairly rapidly rising to the beer's surface. Has a white head that's about an inch thick when first poured that settles to a thick ring lining the inside of the glass with a nice film layer and some cluster swirls of surface foam. Not much lacing here. Aromas of some bready malts, grainy caramel sweetness, and honey. The taste is pretty much the same, with some bready malts, wheat, a grainy caramel sweetness, and honey. Also a bit of earthy hops. Not a very complex flavor profile, but that's okay. It works here. Has a crisp, also smooth, light to medium bodied mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Has a clean finish with a fairly sweet and grainy aftertaste. The wheat and honey certainly sit on my palate nicely after each sip. This is nice, refreshing beer on this warm, late spring night here in Cleveland.

I got a can of this beer off the single shelf from my local Giant Eagle store . It poured a hazy golden with thin white head that is not leaving any lace. The scent had faint honey notes. The taste is nicely balanced and easy to drink with honey flavor. The mouthfeel is lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a decent beer.

Beer has a nice semi-dark hazy golden color. It developed a nice head. I get a slight bit of hops smell.
I expected more of a honey flavor but seem to be getting more of a hoppy flavor on the back end.
Its not a bad beer, very smooth but i expected somewhat of a different taste. I would drink it again if offered to me.

 

Canned on 6/27/19. 12oz can poured into a tulip. Pours a hazy glowing golden; small white head that fades quickly leaving little retention and lacing. The aromas are mild. Subtle floral notes. Lots of bread and grains. Hints of corn. Malts are there. The flavors basically follow the nose for the most part. More floral notes. The wheat comes through. Low bitterness. It's slightly sweet, but nothing crazy or over the top. Alcohol goes unnoticed. Mouthfeel is on the fuller side of light-bodied with moderate to active carbonation. It's sharp, fluffy, smooth and easy to drink.

This is an alright brew. It's not bad, but it's nothing crazy.

 

Pours like a golden honey color and tastes like honey off the comb. A very drinkable beer. Starts and finishes down very smooth. Nice beer for any occasion

 

 

 

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 6/26/2018. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of honey, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of lemon, orange, banana, clove, peppercorn, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale/wheat malt, honey, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of honey, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of lemon, orange, banana, clove, peppercorn, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, peppercorn bitterness; and slight wheat tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of honey, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light banana/clove, peppercorn, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pale/wheat malt, honey, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Nicely clean lagering, fruity notes coming from the wheat and honey fermentation. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and fairly crisp/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 5.8%. Overall this a very nice honey wheat lager. All around nice robustness and balance of pale/wheat malt, honey, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Very well balanced between all flavors. Very unique stuff, but a really enjoyable offering.

 

 

Gentle aroma of honey, pours a clear golden amber with a white head. Light bodied, with a touch of tartness in the beginning flavor meshing with some biscuit and honey. Fades quickly to a lingering earthy hop finish. Overall, not a bad little lager.
