Appearance: Light golden colour - almost looks like a macro... Though the head does make up for this. Large, creamy, white head that lasts pretty well and leaves reasonable lace.
Smell: Well I guess in a honey beer, honey should be the first thing you smell? It is and what a great smell it is, smells like fresh honey straight from the comb. Wheat malt and a slight nuttiness are also present.
Taste: Hmmmm the taste isn't quite what I was expecting, the honey is still there but it's toned down from the smell. The wheat malt is slightly more pronounced and there is a hint of bitterness (and I really do mean only a hint).
Mouthfeel: Way too thin, in this aspect it feels like a macro, though the carbonation does a good job to correct that feeling. This beer is perfectly carbonated.
Drinkability: This beer does go down very easily, more like a 4.0% not a 5.8%...
Birkenhead brew very distinctive beers. They all (ranging from a stout to a pilsner to honey-wheat ale) have a nuttiness in the aroma. I recommend that anyone visiting South Africa take the time to find some of these beers.
