Honey Wheat Lager

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 6/26/2018. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of honey, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of lemon, orange, banana, clove, peppercorn, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale/wheat malt, honey, and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of honey, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of lemon, orange, banana, clove, peppercorn, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, grassy, peppercorn bitterness; and slight wheat tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of honey, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, light banana/clove, peppercorn, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of pale/wheat malt, honey, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Nicely clean lagering, fruity notes coming from the wheat and honey fermentation. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and fairly crisp/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 5.8%. Overall this a very nice honey wheat lager. All around nice robustness and balance of pale/wheat malt, honey, and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish. Very well balanced between all flavors. Very unique stuff, but a really enjoyable offering.

Sample at Old Bag of Nails Gahanna. The beer is a slightly hazy yellow-gold color with a thin white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of wheat, honey and fruit. Light-bodied with flavors of floral honey, malt and fruit. The finish is sweet with a honey and malt aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a slightly hazy golden-peach color with a medium sized foamy white heat that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was sweetish and lightly fruity with a note reminiscent of gummy bears. The flavor was honey, yeast, faint golden fruit and a hint of caramel. Medium length finish. Medium body and smooth. Tasty.
