Pours golden with a thin white head. Flavor is sweet, but not overbearing. Flavors of honey, lemon, and a hint of spice. Hops are mild, which is expected in a summer ale. I expected this to be slightly watery, but I found this to have a slight creaminess. Finished crisp. I found this to be a very good summer ale.

Pour is a hazy blond with a large white head. Aroma is is very creamy and yeasty with some sweetness in there. Flavor is at first sweet and some honey but then it follows up with more of a spice. Finish is easy to drink with no bitterness. This was actually better than i thought it would be.

Yeah, I know it’s October, but I’m trying to hold onto summer. Unfortunately I got this one. At least it was a variety six. Colbert tells me that bears are one of the biggest threats to the United States, and I can see why: they make shitty beer. Somewhat crisp and refreshing if you’re dying of thirst I suppose.

Golden honey pour with a a bit of bubbly carbonation leaving a good thick white head which mostly diminishes into heavy lacing on the glass. Slightly pleasing yeasty-bread and bitter hop with balanced taste. Easily drinkable on hot summer days.

Bottle. Pours a clear, deep gold with a thin white head that fades. Aroma is sweet, quite a bit of honey, hops, malt, citrus. The honey hits right away in the taste, with pine, malt, citrus. Lingering sweet honey flavor. A little too sweet, but not bad.

Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Fruity malty aroma with some weak hints of honey. Sweet malty honey flavor and also some hints of caramel. Sweet malty finish with hints of honey in the aftertaste.
