COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Summer Honey is a full flavored, refreshing summer seasonal ale. Brewed with a unique, balanced blend of spices, Northwest Hops, and Montana honey. Summer Honey is brewed during the early days of spring and released around the first of May each year. Light colored, light bodied, and very drinkable, Summer Honey sacrifices nothing to create a flavorful beer that can be enjoyed during the height of the Summer. Available April - September.

Bottle. Honey barley malt, hay and bitter/metallic aroma. Hazy golden yellow color with small head. Slightly sweet barley malt and mildly bitter herbal hops flavor. Not bad.

Tmoney99 (6892) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - SEP 25, 2011
Bottle. Poured clear pale color with an average white frothy head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate floral hop and honey aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Soft drinkable brew.

AWMiller (476) - Mansfield, Texas, USA - SEP 21, 2011
Under the cap – “If yer gonna be stoopid, ya gotta be tough!” This brew poured up a clear golden body with a one-finger head (from a somewhat vigorous pour). Retention was minimal reducing down to a bubbly film on top with minimal lacing effects. Smell- Lots of sweet honey and spices throughout. Served ‘fridge-cold’. Scents and flavors of honey (duh!) and various spices and very little detection of hops or malts throughout.

Suttree (3765) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - AUG 22, 2011
Usually, referring to something as "adequate" is a bit of a back-handed compliment. In this case, i mean in a sincerity that it is perfectly adequate for it’s intended role, which I assume is to be a tasty summer quencher. I wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way yo get it again, but I wouldn’t turn one down if offered.

Really boring and unnecessary "summer" beer. It is just muddled un-thought out garbage.

Savvy1982 (1320) - Lethbridge, Alberta, CANADA - AUG 9, 2011
Bottle, thanks to Cole. Pours clear golden, with a thin white head, weak lacing. Nose is sour honey, malt, light spice. Flavours of honey, cardboard, really intensely boring.
