6 Nice grainy aroma. anna does get some honey, I don’t.
4 Slightly hazy copper, good creamy head.
6 Simple sweet malty body, pleasant mellow graininess.
3 Full palate, pleasant carbonation. Simple grainy finish, slightly woolly bitterness, a touch earthy.
12 Proper lager - the big guys should be embarassed at how poor their shit is compared to this. There’s no evidence of this being an "ale".

TBone (9405) - Pori, FINLAND - MAY 19, 2011
Draught@brewpub, Kaunas
Didn’t take a note about ABV, but this is much lighter than 6%, around 5%. Nut brown color, good creamy off-white/beige head. Off sour-milk aroma with sweet notes. Light body. Some caramel, toasted notes. Very light honey flavor in the background, a bit more in the aftertaste. This is very lightly flavored honey beer. Unbalanced and kind of lame.

Warning! At the brewpub. Early amateur rating! Hazy amber beer. Crisp palate. Sweetish beer but the honey is not obvious in the taste. A little malt. Good.

SaintMatty (2843) - Uppsala, SWEDEN - JAN 29, 2009
Draught (Avilys, Vilnius) - Golden in colour with a slight haze. Honey and malt in the aroma. Sweetish taste with light honey hints. Not bad and certainly doesn’t taste its strength.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - SEP 10, 2008
Draught, 4.8% at the brewpub. Hazy copper colour. Stable off-white head. The flavour is fruity and nutty, but neither is really nice. The finish is slightly citric. Could be worse, but it is not particularly good either.

Nekronos (2655) - Xalapa, MEXICO - AUG 21, 2008
Awesome honney taste, I like the head and is very cloudy, not like unfiltered but amber. Nice place although somewhat poshy.

Eructoblaster (2121) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - JUL 8, 2008
On tap at the Kaunas brew pub. Nica hazy amber body topped with a lasting white foamy head. Its malty/hoppy aroma carries spicy and citrusy hints. Good hoppy taste with malty, spicy and citrusy notes. Ends with a good hoppy/herbal finish. Good job!

mjs (2997) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JUN 26, 2008
(Draught at the brewpub on 2008-06-21) Amber. Quite hazy. Small white head. Tiny hint of honey in light nose. Some carbonation in medium palate. Sweet malts, hint of hops, some yeast and bitterness in taste.

gnoff (5001) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - MAY 5, 2008
(Draught at the brewpub on April 30 and May 1, 2008)
Shady copper color, off-white head. Fruity, sweet, estery scent. Also hops. Hoppy, sweet, and fruity taste. Herbal bitter aftertaste. Spritzy mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Some banana esters.

yngwie (9175) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - JUN 27, 2006
Bottled. Golden orange beer with a very lively carbonation and a huge, lasting off-white head. Malt, citrus, cloves and spices in the aroma. Quite sweet. Flavor is sweet, with a touch of honey, and citrus and cloves. Sweet, fizzy mouthfeel and a sweet, lightly bitter and metallic finish. Too much sweetness, but not much honey to be found. Not that I miss it... If I didn’t know what beer it was, I would have guessed it was from Belgium. (060627)
