If you’re looking to catch a buzz, this 9.5% imperial kölsch might just be the ticket! This bee-hemoth is brewed with FAR TOO MUCH honey from Stonewall Apiary, which lends it an almost mead-like finish. It drinks like a lighter beer, with sweet undertones (despite being almost bone-dry), so be careful not to get stung! Yes, we know, hornets don’t really make honey, but that doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate it! After all, you didn’t make this beer, and yet, you’ll still drink it!

Can to ...tulip? Yup, that's what I went with, this is an imperial kolsch, so let's do this.
Appearance: rustic golden amber color with a sly transparency about it and a two finger off white frothy head which dissipated at a moderate pace then left some messy lace
Aroma: honey, honey, then more honey; oh okay then a light touch of malty/biscuitiness way down in there
Flavor: mostly sweet all the way through with a slick finish of honey sweetness but also has a small speck of dryness
Texture: medium bodied; sessionable; very smooth along the tongue; good carb level and nothing distracting
Overall: kinda liked it as a honey beer but I didn't see many "kolsch" characteristics to this.
