Our Honey Rye Lager includes 100% locally sourced honey from Prairie Field Honey which gives a light touch of honey to the rustic rye malt added to the lager. It is a unique beer which is sure to create quite a buzz.

Beautiful rich golden colour. Very vibrant and crisp and clear. Small white head that dissipates leaving a light dusting of bubbles.

Nose is generally pretty light. Some clean malts somewhere in the crystal/honey range. Some light floral/grassiness from the hops. Maybe a touch of earthy spice from the rye. But that's pretty faint.

Flavour leads in with a classic lager profile up front, fairly light, and then you get some sweetness and that not-quite-sour flavour that fermented honey imparts. The finish is dull earthy bitterness with a nice little backdrop of light honey sweetness that is as much an impression as it is a flavour.

Nice spritzy carbonation, and easy drinking. I could see knocking a couple of these back on a sunny day. Maybe a bit thin at points, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt as that works well enough in the style and intention.

Overall I dig it. A good light spring/summer option.
