A hazy orange beer with no head. The aroma is very sweet with clear notes of honey. The flavor is sweet and very carbonated with strong notes of honey as well as hints of wheat.

Aroma of honey. Yellow and highly carbonated. Flavor is mostly honey. I have never tasted so much honey in a beer. Some bitter hops. Light on the palate.

Hazy light orange body, medium-thick puffy off-white head. Sweet, biscuity aroma with a touch of honey and citrusy, grassy hops. The flavor starts off on a decent note, with grainy breads, a touch of honey, and grassy hops. However, that’s when the copper pennies take over and ruin the palate. I like this beer’s biscuity simplicity, but the honey detracts a bit from that element.

Nice honey coloured body with an orange glow and a thinnish off-white head. Better looking than I had expected. Aroma of honey (no surprise), apricots, peaches, malt and some sugars. Light-bodied; Very vegetable taste with some sweetness and more malty unpleasantness. Aftertaste still kicks with alcohol and vegetables. Overall, a pretty bad beer (as I had expected), but still worth a try. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 19-December-2004.

Light golden ale with a light honey aroma, and cloves. Hoped up honey ale, cardboardy and oxidized. Medium bodied. (July 31 at Indiana Microbrewers Festival)

Paid $1.09 for a 12-oz single. Slightly cloudy golden, GREAT head: off-white and fluffy. Interesting smell. Smells like a typical amber almost, but with sweet honey... but the honey isn't sickeningly sweet, like it can sometimes be. Not bad... tastes a bit like chamomile tea. The honey is not overly prominent in the taste at all. A decent brew... nothing enormous here, but sometimes it's nice to kick back and drink a plain beer.
