This isn’t your watered-down light beer from college. Nor is it a heavy craft beer. Honey Brown pours right smack dab in the middle. A delicious golden amber color, it’s a beer you can drink throughout the night while staying true to yourself and your evolving palate. Enjoy it with friends. Enjoy it with strangers. It doesn’t matter to us—just enjoy it. (Formerly J.W. Dundee/Dundee Original Honey Brown Ale)

Pours pale amber into a shaker. White head quickly recedes to hug rim. Sour, stale bread aromas. Fizzy and sour fruit with a slight honey in the finish.

Overall Impression: I've had this one many times over the years, its a solid beer, not great, but it works, I would definitely say its a little underrated on here, a 16 overall score seems a bit harsh.

12 ounce bottle from a sampler. Pours a slight hazy amber color with a thin head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel malts, grain and a light honey and bitter hop finish. Taste is grain, honey and grassy hops. Medium bodied. Not bad for what I was expecting.

6/2/5/2/11 Sweet, light aroma of honey, caramel malts. Light amber color, clear, medium to low head. Slightly thin-looking. Sweet flavor of honey and caramel. Malt flavor is not very complex. Slightly spicy, but very little hopping. Slightly thin body. Drinkable but lacking in real quality.
