When you get somthing like this, you should be wowed. I mean who buys beer and honey. Not too mention honey beer. But this was kinda boring. Risk risky enough to try a beer with honey should have it’s beneficial outcomes. But us x-game guys just got ripped off! As tagz said hardly a witbier. So take a decent witbier add some honey and maybe a daisy and some snake venom and you got a chance of experiencing a good beer.

bottle: Awful. Very low quality malts and filmy aftertaste ala Lakeport products. Did somebody put Nutrasweet in this? Stick with their Belgian White. Hard to imagine that a brewery can produce such a great bear and such a lousy one as this. This actually tastes more like lemonade than beer, are there hops in this or not? Tossed mine down the drain.

draft. clear light gold with sizable white head. moderate large bubble carb. not much aroma, maybe a slight citrus edge. slight malt, slight lemon, and a sweet edge. none of the flavors really grabbed me though. fairly bland overall. refreshing, decent taste but i wouldn’t seek it out.

Nice enough appearance, golden with a nice thick white head,livelly carbonation. Nothing much at all to the aroma though, malty,slightly spicy, not offensive. flavour is sweet of course, but honey sweet and surprisingly not artificial,there is a goodly amount of malt backing too, and some slightly over-ripe but still edible oranges. Palte is kinda thick , but finishes crisp inthe end,though i can taste honey in the after taste for a while. Weird beer, not sure if this an American wheat. Its not bad for a summer thirst quencher.

Bottle... Poured a golden color with a fuzzy head. Sharp honey and malt aroma. Gross palate which ruined the wheat beer experience. Flavors of honey, malt, yeast and orange flavors. Strong honey aftertaste.... way too sweet. Gave me a headache. I’d skip this one if you are a fan of wheat, honey, or summer seasonals.

Seems like a cheap wheat beer with some honey and a tad of orange added. Don’t really care much for it myself, but it will make a good "once I’m already drunk" beer.

Clear for the style. Honey and wheat aroma. The same goes for the flavor. It has some spicey notes also, cinnamon and orange. Simple and simply boring.

This poured a pale yellow/gold body, quite clear and well filtered, with a thick ’n’ creamy head. It smelled of honey, wheat, soft malt, and orange zest. There’s a bit of spiciness in the flavor - don’t know what it is. Mainly it tastes of wheat flakes, honey, sweet orange pulp, and zest of orange. Crisp finish. I’d rather have a decent hefeweizen.
