Caitlin DeClercq created her Honey Bee’s Lavender Wheat with dried lavender petals, giving it a fragrant but soft aroma. A citrus tartness and slight sweetness from the honey and vanilla balance out the finish in this California resident’s brew, perfect to sip while kicking back and relaxing.

Bottle. Pours a gold copper with a large frothy white head that lasts awhile leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is a fruity malt with cereal and citrus. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet malt and fruit. Easy to drink a decent spice brew.

Bottle. Pours a medium gold with little head and cloyingly honey-sweet aromas. There’s a little bit of that grain silo dustiness to the nose as well. Flavor is a near cloying honey bomb with a little bit of lavender that interrupts between honey at the front and honey at the end. It’s just too sweet and sticky for my tastes.

Bottle from a trade with cbkschubert. Pours clear dark golden color with white head. Big floral lavender aroma. Sweet honey and flowery lavender flavors. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Light and refreshing. Thanks Craig.

12 oz bottle into tumbler. No offense to women, but this beer just screams "chick-beer." I can’t picture any testicle-endowed brewer coming up with a recipe for beer containing lavender petals and honey. Whatever, though; it sounds pretty good and experimental, actualy, which I admire greatly. Pours a clear deep old gold hue with a small head. Smells like caramel, cinnamon, honey, grain, my wife’s underwear drawer. Nice. Taste is lightly sweet with no bitterness. Carbonation is medium-high, body is a bit thin; dry. I like it!

Served by the homebrewer who won (the winning brew was extract and also had vanilla). Pours with a clear golden body and a white head. Aromas of lavender, jasmine, honey and spice. Flavors are malty, bready, toasty, lavender and honey. Lively bubbles.

Pours light gold into a Sam glass. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving spider lacing to skim surface. Sweet honey and wheat aromas. Crisp with bubblegum and caramel upfront turning to sweet flowery honey before the lasting slightly hopped finish.

Pour is a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is deffinatly lavendar with some sweet malt. Flavor is a very light honey malt and again some lavendar appears. Finish is sweet and cloying. Ok and a good use of lavendar which is one of the better aromas on earth.
