I’ve had bit of cough so bought this brew with honey to help. Orange pour and a fingers worths of foam. Nose is honey and citrus and pine. Tastes bitter pine, orange peel. Florals, honey, mango. Not overly sweet. Enjoyable

Draught at Lulu's, 3/28/18.
Orange blossom honey colored body is thoroughly hazy, though not soupy. Solid, frothy, white head showing moderately-strong retention.
Smells very fruity with lots of melon/cantaloupe from the yeast. Light, soft and easygoing and not terribly aromatic, but clean with no alcohol nor any sign of honey.
In the mouth it's kind of a pine-tinged lime-like hop character with actual honey flavor (which is surprising given I get none in the nose). Sweet, biscuity-tinged malt, as well. Moderate bitterness but more honey building up on the finish than I'd care for (making it too sweet). Bitter pine is a bit of a nuisance, as well. Light, minimal juiciness and reasonably soft-textured overall. I guess it's competent enough for a West Coast hybrid sort of IPA. Clean, but lots of disjointed sweet honey and piney bitterness lingers on, not terribly enjoyably-so.

16 oz. can. Great aroma! Some moderate honey, floral hints, and maybe a some citrus. Flavor is lasting honey with mild, hidden hops. Bitterness is almost non-existent from the honey. Alcohol is restrained. Sweet but not cloying, reminds me of a popular Series from a famous Massachusetts. Very tasty!
