[cask at Back of Beyond, Reading] Sweet honey dominates the foretaste, a very ordinary bitter comes through afterwards. Very smooth & easy drinking, yet a little on the bland side. Good balance of sweet and bitter despite the honey.

Cask (handpump) @ The Old Bakery, CV8, Kenilworth. Clear medium amber color with a small creamy, virtually none off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, honey, grain, light smoke, light light mocca. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average to long duration, refreshing. Body is medium, texture is creamy, carbonation is flat.

Cask gravity at Red Lion, Snargate. Amber colour with thin white head. Honey aroma. Honey and hay in mouth, bit of herb. OK, just a tad of urine from somewhere. Not my favourite honey beer.

On draught at Skinners Ale House, Newquay: Amber coloured, hazy, lacing foam; floral hoppiness in the nose; bitter-sweet (honey?) flavour, long lasting bitter-aromatic aftertaste. Well balanced, well quaffable !

Bottled. Pale brown colour, a bit hazy. Huge beige frothy head. Honey, hops and malt in the aroma. Also some citric hints. Sweet citric flavour with honey peak in finish. A bit bitter aftertaste. Very refreshing beer.

Copper colour with a rich, frothy head. Honey, sweet pale malts and leafy hops and berryish esters in the appetizing aroma. Leafy flavours, with sweet honey underpinning. Refreshing.

An amber beer with a beutiful beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of sugarcanes and a great hops. The flavor is smooth and lovely malty with great hops - though I can’t tell the type. The honey notes are also accentuated and very pleasant without being too sweet - and giving way for a good dry finish.

Creamy white head. Amber color. Light toffee caramel and hop aroma. Taste lacks "bitter bitterness". Sweet honey-like flavor with light hops and sugar. Watery finish. Label is nice! (5/4/5/2/10 2.6)
