It’s a flacid honey brown. Well they’re all flacid. This one too. Not much more then you’d expect from a macro swill.

I did not feel the honey. Who took it? Did you take it? You bastard! Cause you know something, its not in this beer. You know where this beer is? Ill tell you where this beer is! This beer is around the corner at Mickey’s drinking a Sleemans! Trying to fill in for that lost and missing honey. Ill tell you what Algonquin, if that even is your real name, go climb a tree and find a bees nest, live with the bees and understand the style of making a good honey brown lager. Because frankly Im not seeing it in you, take a walk.

Golden red in colour with not a lot of flavour. Notes of honey in the aroma.
