Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 1/2/13
Aroma: The nose is big on honey and floral notes, with wheat and orange peel hiding behind the honey
Appearance: It pours a hazed golden-orange color with a white head and some spotty, light lace
Flavor: The taste is quite sweet, heavy honey, like the nose, with wheat and floral flavors
Palate: The body is light-medium, with a sticky, cloying feel, and a somewhat fizzy carbonation
Overall Impression: This is kind of an odd one. Why would you put so much honey into a wheat beer? I do enjoy honey on occasion, but it doesn't fit here in this quantity. It comes off too sweet and cloying.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange-apricot color with a small foamy yellow-white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was tart orange, lemon, chalk and pepper. The flavor is sweet honey and chamomile with a faint vague herbal element and notes of orange and chalk. Long dryish honey, chamomile and orange. Better tasting than I expected but the is an oddness to it that is difficult to identify. Moderately full body. Interesting.

Bottle from Half Time. Pours a slightly hazy light golden amber with a creamy white head. Mild floral aroma - seems to be a hint of citrus - something honey lurks. Med body. Honey no longer lurks - it’s the principal start. Sort of overwhelms the floral. There’s enough sweet to stop this from being dry. Certainly the honeyest beer I can recall. Toss in some dead twigs and it could be a dogfish.

A golden wheat with a thin white head. In aroma, grainy malt with light off notes, a bit of cinnamon. In mouth, a sweet honey malt with cinnamon, herbs, a bit dry and cloying. Tasted at Raquette River Beer and Wine Fest, July 13 2012.

12oz bottle–trade with jtclockwork-pours an offwhite head with yellow/gold color. Aroma is floral, cinnamon, honey-light malt. Taste is floral hops, cinnamon/apple, chamomile, honey-light malt/cereal. Like Apple Jacks. The bottom 1/3 cloudy, guess it should have all been poured at once.

Hazy golden coloured body with a frothy large slightly off-white head. Aroma of very strong honey and floral notes with a lot of perfumey and bright scents - nice and potent. Medium-bodied; Assertive honey sweetness up front dies out relatively quickly with a more herbal and floral blandness and cardboard type taste right afterwards- no depth, no body and no complexity. Aftertaste shows a lot of flowers and some honey with almost nothing else coming through aside from a touch of citrus. Overall, a nice smelling and perfumey beer, but aside from that - there isn’t much going on here at all...perhaps nice on a very hot day when the beer is relatively cold, but anytime else, it’s kind of a let-down. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 20-July-2011 sampled at home in Washington on 20-September-2011.

Bottle in NYC from Whole Foods. Pours faintly cloudy gold with a creamy, foamy head. A bit of sharp, sour malts on the nose. Some sugary honey sweetness in the flavor, flowers, but this beer seems to have turned. Medium in body with average carbonation. Mild sour malts to finish. If this is how the beer is supposed to taste, it’s pretty damn bad. Hopefully just an off bottle.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market, Charlottesville, VA, opened 4/5/11. Pours a hazy orange color with a thin head that fades quickly. Aroma of honey, floral notes and a nutty almost granola like thing. The taste is honey, grainy malts, bitter hops and chamomile in the finish. Medium bodied. Decent.

Pours hazy gold into a shaker. Bright white head with little retention recedes to hug rim. Sweet summer wildflowers and honey aromas. Thin with sweet honey and chamomile upfront turning to slightly sour hay in the lasting finish.
