Fairly light on the honey. More lager character than anything.

Bottled@Mallaskosken Panimoravintola, Seinäjoki. Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is mild bread, some slight sweetness as well as mild citrusy notes. Flavour is very similar, and quite watery as for the palate. Not too much honey to it actually, but it’s a fresh terrace beer atleast... According to what the brewer said, the honey was put into the beer before fermentation, which probably means most of it has dissappeared in fermentation...
