Draught at Claim Jumper, Lombard, IL. At first the bartender said this was buckwheat honey, which may be. Pours a light lager color with a thin lacy head. There is a nice honey smell that I don’t pick up with other commercial "honey" beers. Taste is mostly light malts, less complex than even a pilsener. But a definite body instead the watered down texture of a mega-brew, so points there. Not sticky, but definitely some honey present, balanced by a nondescript bittering. Not a beer geek’s beer, but a decent starter.
