Commercial Description:
Big Rock Honey Brown is an exceptionally smooth, mellow lager with a subtle hint of sweet honey. This medium bodied, rich golden-brown lager is made with Alberta Clover Honey and aged longer to produce a cramy head and a clean aftertaste.

355ml can. <br /> Pours an amber honey red with a foamy head that leaves decent lacing. Smells of hops and alcohol with a small bit of honey that I found hard to pick up on. Tastes somewhat like oak and something unpleasant. No honey taste. Bare finish. First time I tried this beer I loved it. This time it’s terrible.

Bottle, ,courtesy of my friends Big Red and K. Looks great - chesnut brown, nice copper glow, thick creamy white head. Aroma is decent - sweet malt and a touch of actual discernible honey. Surprised me. Taste - again, somewhat surprising. Sweet malt, light to medium body (for the style) and more honey. Served cold, this one is not too bad at all. Nothing complex or earth shattering but comes as advertised (where so many honey browns do not) - a decent dark lager mixed with some sweetness. Cloying as it warms so drink it cold and you’ll be fine.

A decent honey brown. Very smooth and clear. Not overly dark, and of course, it has a nice honey flavor. Thunbs up from me, but I am partial to this style.

tap at Big Rock in Seoul - Pours amber with a thin head. The aroma is of honey with a trace of malt. It has a sweet honey flavor and not much else. Sub par.

Bottle-Nose of grains, hay, pale malts and maple syrup? Weird. Pours a deep amber topped with a thin off-white head. Taste is sweet, sweet grains and caramel malts, and I am getting this maple syrup flavour that matches the same in the nose.....almost like demererra. Sweet, fizzy, sweet, sweet, sweet. Ouch.

Draught at Moxies. A very drinkable beer. It smelled great, tasted great, looked great. I loved it. No funny aftertastes, just some great flavors. Rich and full bodied. Goes down real smooth. I would definately reccomend this beer.
