I was usbject to one of these at a family gathering. While i’m pouring out a Fullers London Porter at the table. My uncle comes over..... " what in the world is that?!" I explain its one of the very best porters out there. He tries it and needless to say, tells me it’s garbage, and to try a really tasty, REAL beer. So i’m handed a bottle of PC Honey Red. Oh boy!!! My dreams have some true, never find trying to find that elusive bottle of barrel aged Angles Share! I know now PC HONEY RED!!!
All joking aside......this was awful stuff. I drank it from the bottle, cause as soon as i went for a glass my uncle yelled some derogatory comment about beer from a glass so, and how i wasn’t a "man", so i slammed it back in the bottle. Well from what i got, this was basically coors light with honey. Its sweet, but not in a good way, its terribly wattery, not much going on other than a sickly sweetness in the back of my throat. i just slammed it back, and ran for my London Porter, and then hid from my uncle.

Originally rated February 2006. Brewed with spring water, malted barley, corn and hops. Well, at least they don’t try and hide the corn. Pours a nice clean amber colour with a big head that dissipates fast. The carbonation is lively with bigger bubbles and a ring stays around for the tasting. The nose is a mix between the corn and the honey. Watery mouthfeel that is smooth. Starts off slightly bitter and stays into the finish. The corn appears in the aftertaste, but not disturbingly. Notes of honey and apples are felt along the way. Not really a sweet beer, but has some decent bitterness. Well-brewed swill.
