Bought from M+S London.
If considering buying this you need to understand that honey beer distinctly tastes of honey. Sounds bleedin' obvious but it's not going to work for everyone. I found the prominence of it's flavour a distraction. Interesting to try but I prefer my beer to taste more beer-like.

A: Dark brown, very little head.
S: Lots of honey, lemon, pine, some herbs.
T: Honey, slight brown bread, light grain, no hop character. Unbalanced but interesting. It has sweetness in the main but the savoury malt draws it back to a large extent. The malt develops into brown bread, brown sugar and toffee.
M: Thin.
O: Very odd, because of no hop character. Despite of that, it's still tasty.

A 330ml bottle with a BB of June 2014, so it's a bit out of date. Picked up a while back from the York Beer & Wine shop. The label describes it as a honey beer brewed with urban and rural honey. Unpasteurised.
A: Poured into a straight pint glass. A bright golden hue with faint haze and good carbonation. Yields a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a moment before subsiding to a patchy surface layer.
S: Aroma of sweet floral honey notes with hints of pollen, subtle grainy malt, husks, faint stewed leaves and a twinge of harsh cardboard in the background.
T: Tastes of sweet honey with a mild finish. Notes of floral honey, pollen, light grain, husks, faint stewed leaves and vague earthy yeast. A touch of harsh cardboard in the background. Slightly sweet but dry, followed by a delicate leafy bitterness upon swallowing.
M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with spritzy carbonation and light body. Faintly astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of mild floral honey and husky grain.
O: Alright but a bit insubstantial - I was hoping for more depth. Looks great, while the aroma and flavour are dominated by sweet honey notes. Faint grainy malt lurks in the background. Light body but suits the style. Goes down OK and would probably be lovely on a warm day. I reckon the malt could be beefed up a little to balance the honey; at the moment it comes across as a lager substitute. Drinkable but no need to hunt it down.
