Honeybird
Flyway Brewing Company

 

Picked this up in Ozark, Arkansas last year as I enjoyed their other offering that I had at their brewery a few years back. This was lovely too, even though it was a bit too one-dimensional for me in the end. Thankfully, this was well-suited for warmer months such as this since it was plenty sweet and low in alcohol!

To no one's surprise, this looked and poured like honey as there was just a bit of dark sediment swirling about. A soft amount of suds topped it off although they quickly settled down to a ring around the liquid. Lots of spots left along the bottom half of my pint glass as the aroma was full of honey, bread, as well a hint of fall fruit. The latter was a bit more pronounced in the taste with apple and pear coming in softly, and for the duration. A bit of Belgian funk tied everything in together this was full-bodied and lightly carbonated. Some farmhouse and yeast stuck around in the aftertaste as this left a nice slickness on my teeth, which was on par with this beer's consistency.

So easy to quaff, this was just a tad too sweet for me but otherwise, had everything else going for it. No date was to be found anywhere although this held up well over the last nine and a half months. Loved the label and emphasis on the Natural State, as this would be perfect for a day out on the lake or up in the Ouachitas. Glad to have found this during my travels!

Light and crisp. Not too strong of honey taste, but good honey smell.

 

Not really my style, but I finished my half of a can without complaint, which is high praise all things considered.

 

12oz can from Rich, purchased at brewery. Dark golden pour, head disappears quickly, lively carbonation. Aroma is honey up front, malts and grains behind. Taste features mild sweetness, honey, malty. Abrupt finish.

Look - nice standard blond looking beer
Smell - grainy and sweet smells
Taste - honey sweet grainy
Feel - light body with a medium light carb
Overall - ok honey blond

 

 

While not quite as good as the Flyway beer they make, this has its own unique goodness. There's not a lot of head when poured. It's brewed with Arkansas honey and you can taste the honey undertones when you sip it. Leaves a bit of the honey aftertaste on your taste buds. It's a pretty smooth beer going down.
