Clean, smooth, slow motion, easy drinkin', honey. The palate cleanser extraordinaire. Perfect for mowing your unwatered lawn, sipping in the shower, or fishing on a Sunday. Low in alcohol, but high in enjoyment, this beer will not let you down..... and if it does? Give it a good talking to.

12oz Can on Christmas Day 2019, while in California on holiday. Mini haze to the light golden body, wispy white head. Mild honey notes in the nose and taste, semi-sweet overall because of that. The finish had a weak hop bitterness and aftertaste. Nothing wrong with this, just expected a bit more oomph and depth of flavour.

Got in a trade with The-Adjunct-Hippie. 12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 1/2/2019. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with amazing retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, orange, peach, pear, melon, apricot, red apple, honey, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of wood, pepper, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. A bit too fruity/yeasty aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of honey, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big lemon, orange, peach, pear, melon, apricot, red apple, honey, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and lightly toasted biscuit; with lighter notes of wood, pepper, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, peach, pear, melon, apricot, red apple, honey, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, lightly toasted biscuit, wood, pepper, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of honey, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and fairly crisp/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a very nice flavored american blonde ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of honey, pale/wheat malts, and light-moderate fruity yeast/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink, with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Thicker than expected for the ABV, but not overly sweet. Clean and nicely rich pale/wheat malts and honey flavors; with restrained fruity English yeast, and balancing earthy hops against sweetness. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example.

Canned 15/09/18. A malty and slightly bittersweet blonde ale, with a good dose of honey. Honey in the taste, but not oversweet, something fruity in the back as well. Not unpleasant, not particularly exciting, but easy enough to drink. Does what it says.

Can from Land of Beers, Bedford. Drunk at home. Golden and slightly hazy. A little film of head. Light honey aroma with a touch of hay. Taste is bittersweet, with lots oh gentle honey dlavour and a light hoppiness in the finish. Medium to heavy carbonation, slight body. It's okay, but a little dull.
