A wheat ale brewed with grains from Blue Ox, red bamboo honey from Carlisle Honey Farms, and chamomile flowers sourced MEM tea. Drinkable and smooth, this beer delivers bright flavors of floral honeycomb, herbal tea, and toasted bread. A perfect and balanced sipper for warmer weather.

Draught at the brewery, 12/13/17.
Glassy auburn-golden body topped by a beige head that fades to a ring rather steadily.
Very expressive, floral and spice-heavy nose, yet it's all honey-derived (or mostly) and smells great. Tons of black pepper, light lavender and orange blossom-like notes with residual honey creating a pseudo "malt backing" that easily balances. No alcohol, flaw or funky stuff going on here.
In the mouth it's soft, light and effervescent, with a bit of cracker and biscuit up front turning to lightly sticky, residual sugar from the honey. It's almost perfectly balanced between the sweetness and spiciness and never gets overbearing/cloying or syrupy. Wonderful flavor to the honey and lingering herbs and pepper. Awesome.

[2/1/17] Draught at Lamplighter Brewing Company in Cambridge. Golden. Chamomile, spice, honey, a bit of fruitiness, sweetish note, bitterish finish. Not really my thing.
