Bottle from GBBF 2012. Clear paleish golden beer with lasting white head. Looks quite well carbonated. Some pale malt some honey on aroma. Yes some hoppiness on the end. It’s soft easy drinking, I like the honey. Yep really drinkable and I rather liked this a lot. Could drink lots of this.

Received in trade form depechemode1983, thanks for the opportunity! Pours a golden blond color with a small fluffy white head that dissipates quickly. Smells of grains bread honey and grass with a hint of herbal hops. Smells sweet and grainy for the most part. Taste is sweet with lots of honey in the taste mixed with a bit of grainy malt and almost enough hops to keep this from being a bit sweet. Medium body, crisp carbonation, sweet sticky mouthfeel. Not a bad little drinker. Smooth sweet and tasty. Its a decent brew, nothing really wrong with it, but nothing exceptional either.

Bottle from Liz. Pours light gold with a foamy white head. Aromas of light malt and something sweetish. Near med body; foamy carb. Flavor is sweet and bready. Crisp? Somehow the combo makes me think chocolate in a very light, very milky way. There’s finally and definitely some honey sweetness. Despite the sweet, it is somehow a bit astringent - though not at all bitter. Maybe the honey puckers me up. Confusing stuff. Maybe the bees are weird.

12oz bottle. Hazy golden-yellow with a thin, creamy, off-white head. Medium bodied, this is certainly a honey beer all the way. Clovy honey sweetness on top of the sweet malt, kind of an overload. Creamy, with some earthy undertones. OK, but a little awkwardly executed.

Spleck - what the hell, man!? - why would you put honey in a beer like this? - I can taste and smell it so much in this beer - and it does not work with the crackery malts and moderate hop bitterness at all - it actually serves to lend a medicinal character to the bitterness, which lingers really long into the finish - man.
