The Clue is in the Name
We use real honey from friendly local bees (Three Hills) to help sweeten our Honey Brown lager, while the Brown comes from something just as natural and local, our world-renowned Alberta prairie malt.
Little Known Fact
Environmentalists are concerned that worldwide bee populations are in decline. Such is their importance to our ecosystem, it is believed their absence will result in mankind’s extinction. (At which point you might not care that Honey Brown isn’t as sweet.)

On tap. Boat loads of mollasses malt and slightly roasted grains. Quite syrupy and thick. Lots of cheap grains, this tastes almost like an extract homebrew beer.

Clean light drinking beer, crisp and malty. Nice honey flavor. Underrated beer. Sk lb variety pack

Had at Last Chance Saloon in Wayne, Alberta. Pours an amber colour, with a small head that disappears quickly and no lacing. Butterscotch aromas with some mild sour infection smell. Sugar flavours with a bit of hops in the finish. Not bad overall, but infection is not cool, and a little too sweet.

Very minimal head, even when slightly warm, and a caramel copper body kinda like carbonated iced tea. Flavour is a hint of caramel and iced tea.... oh, now that iced tea’s entered my brain I can’t stop thinking about iced tea! Flavour is vague hints of hazelnut with a cloying sweetness.... oh, that’s the honey. But, it kinda grows on you after awhile to be tolerable so an extra flavour point for that. Still, I’d wager that many will have a trying-to-suck-it-down reaction to this, so sadly its score shall reflect such bodily reflexes.

330 ml bottle. Pours a clear, copper with a thin, short lived, off-white head. Light caramel malt aroma with some grain. Sweet flavour of caramel malt and a hint of honey. Light body with a thin, watery texture and flat carbonation. Not bad, but pretty boring.

On tap at Big Rock in Seoul. A nice amber color which is just right for a Honey Brown with a beige head. No real aroma (served too cold?). The flavor was malt caramel with possibly a hint of honey but kind of grassy which it shouldn’t be, maybe they cut it with adjuncts or pilsner malt? Pretty bland.

Draft @ Korea location: Poured a orange coppery color with a off white head. Aroma is sweet with honey. Taste was similar with sweet honey, yet has a soft malt and grit that most find with lagers.

Another Canadian honey brown that tastes like most of the honey browns without having a strong taste of anything really. Basically like Trad again, but slightly different.

Draught at Raven Pub, North Vancouver
Copper-amber color. Very light aroma. Some caramel flavor, very simple, sweetish, that may be due to the honey. Correct bitterness. All said: simple sweetish Ale.

tap at Big Rock in Seoul - Pours amber with a thin head. The aroma is of honey with a trace of malt. It has a sweet honey flavor and not much else. Sub par.
