355ml can - made with BC honey, with the 'plight of the bumblebee' (sorry) on their minds.

This beer pours a mostly clear, pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and fizzy dirty white head, which leaves some hovering thunderstorm cloud pattern lace around the glass as it quickly sinks out of sight.

It smells of bready and grainy pale malt, earthy clover honey, and some plain leafy, weedy, and musky floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, a further indistinct cereal sweetness, steady earthy honeyed notes, some minor edgy yeastiness, and more understated leafy, herbal, and floral verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its workaday frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with a thin airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a wee bit around here. It finishes off-dry, the complex graininess, fading honey, and floral essences all playing nicey-nice with each other.

Overall, this is an agreeable enough Canadian pale ale, with the honey adjunct playing a background role, as such. Easy to drink, just a tad bitter, and enjoyable in its earnest attempt to bring the issue of honeybee depletion to the forefront, sort of.
