Weird. really weird. Couldn’t detect any honey taste. Couldn’t even say that I found it to be anything resmbling a wheat beer. But something about this drop agreed with me. Very smooth and highly inoffensive. Probably bland and certainly false advertising, but I’m willing to let prejudice slide in this case. I actually quite liked it.

Tap at the brewery. Very unique nose. Smells exactly like sticky and sweet honey. And I love honey. Unfortunately the sweetness is over powering in the taste. A massive quaffer for girls

Bottle 330ml. Pretty unbalanced. Aromas of leaves, hay, and a hint of honey. Taste is sweet and sour. Palate is oily, with a thin-to-medium body. Yellow, cloudy, with a thin head.

Murky golden, good head Honey has dried this out quite a bit. Spritzy, light wheat notes. A litle hint of lemon and a bit chalky in the finish

bottle. didnt think much of this, although im not big on honey beers anyway. slight honey flavour, just enough to make it sickly sweet, with a touch of grassy hop flavours.

Very faint honey taste. The hops are much stronger in this than any other flavors. Slight honey aroma as well.

Bottle. Poured with a nice head, with a wheat and honey aroma. Sweet flavour with light hop aftertaste.Quite okay for a honey wheat beer.

Bottle. Orange wheat aroma, some honey sweetness. Quite a spritzy mouthfeel, a little peppery. Not much flavour to it, not even honey.

...bottle. Nice combination of wheat and honey, but lacking in flavor and substance due to it being filtered. Light bodied, decent carbonation, but too watery. Nice cleansing finish, with a slight hint of citrus, not bad, but not amazing.

Bottle (330ml). Poured a hazy golden yellow with a good sized dense foamy white head which was average lasting. Aroma was of damp bready malt with sweet honey, lemon rind and a hint of wheat. Flavor was a light hop bitterness with sweet honey, lemon rind, straw a slight metallic finish and some candy sugar or toffee somewhere in the mix. Light bodied with lively carbonation, watery texture, relatively dry mouthfeel and a ok finish. Better than expected.

white foam, pale, clear, light sweetness, lively, light body, with a hint of the honey. This is not my favourite style of beer but it’s thirst quenching and refreshing.
