Had this on draft poured into a Seidel mug.

Pours a beautiful golden honey color with a small head.

I wanted to smell more from this but I couldn't. Got malts and some earthy notes but were very subtle.

Definitely got some biscuit and floral notes from this. A great balance on both. Slight honey notes on the tongue with earthiness in-between.

I get a good light medium feel with great carbonation levels. Nice finish with no stickiness.

Overall I enjoyed this. Good flavor profile and balance and would gladly get again when in the area

This beer was brewed by Cape Ann exclusively for The Beehive restaurant on Tremont St in Boston. A light pilsner infused with honey to keep with the theme of The Beehive.

Light fluffy head, honey orange color and quite clear.

Nose light pale malt, aromatic malt, lager like fruits, light soft layered pilsner malts, hint of grassy hops, fresh, light honey.

Taste light crisp refreshing, nice pilsner malts, little straw, layered soft complex almost decoction but not quite, light grassy noble hops little bitterness, hint if honey remnants where all the sweetness was fermented out, and some lager fruits, crisp lager, nice pilsner, finish is light crisp, lingering light noble hops, light lager flavors and malts.

Mouth is med to lighter, good carb.

Overall pretty good. A nice light pilsner with good flavor, soft and drinkable, a light noble hop kick and just a bit of honey in there so it's not overwhelmed or sweet. I think Cape Ann should make this a regular beer for them, although not sure how well it would hold up in bottles as it was very fresh and delicate tasting on draft.

There's something really satisfying to drink a beer like this right at the mouth of the historic harbour in gloucster.

This beer has a slightly cloudy, honey color, medium look.

the nose is sour and sweet, honey-like malt aroma, bready but crisp effect. An earthy musky yeast is pretty spot on in the aroma.

A crispy sour and sweet effect, earthy hops, bready and honey sweet, very mild honey but effective. good balance.

the feel is a light to medium, crispy but kinda smooth finsih, not dry and maybe a bit too hefty.

Enjoyable through and through.
