    Very small distribution but Intangible Ales made a Honey Saison called Acidulated Hive, that was quite impressive although I thought it was a little more dry/Bretty than sweet/honey coming through he flavor profile. Still very solid.

    Sam Adams Honey Queen is actually fairly solid. Also my wife loves it, so better for me.

    Bees in the trappe isnt bad either, Grimm do an awesome rendition of this style, those two are some of the few beers I search out time after time (along with Anna) and the Dupont Biere de miele also stands up well.

    Sam Adams Honey Queen was great..Trillium Bees was nice...and Im really looking forward to the 2 bottles of Trillium Artaic after reading these reviews.

    Two I've had are Event Horizion , and Hopslam. I don't see any trace of honey in either if you didn't tell me you used it.

    If you like DIPAs -- you'd be hard pressed to find a better brew made w honey than Artaic. This it my top new beer of 2015 so far -- waves of hoppy juiciness. Just incredible.

    You've clearly never experienced the torment of Ann.

    Love it so much I just traded for three :slight_smile:

    Planning to repeat my experiment BdM vs East Bank vs Anna side by side... BdM won last time. This time - blind. I think I'll call them pretty easily, but we'll see. Anna has a Belgian peppery character, East Bank is clean and dry, BdM is funky.

    I think honey is one of the best additives; it definitely lends a wonderful flavor to the beer ive tasted it in.

    Try telling that to all the clueless goobers that review beers brewed with honey that swear all they can taste is the honey. Recently had Brewery Vivant's Contemplation and the honey isn't even remotely noticeable (to the point that it says so on the can). I start reading reviews and every armchair brewer is talking about how sweet it is (it isn't) and how prevalent the honey is (it's not). The power of suggestion is a hell of a thing.
