Commercial Description:
This rich amber ale is brewed with Caramel 60 and Two-Row for a sweet, malty taste and heady bouquet, and is hopped with Hallertau Hersbrucker, Saaz and Mt. Hood to add a mild bitter contrast. The finishing touch is blending in a touch of pure, Pennsylvania Orange Blossom honey to provide a delicate honey flavor and a silky smooth finish.

I really like this beer. Pours amber, with a malt, hop, and honey bouquet. Tastes malty, sweet, and finishes the same.

So far I feel it’s the best of the honey amber beers.

Contrary to the description on the bottle - the honey doesn’t add a smooth finish but more of a dry sticky finish. This beer is very sweet - borderline cloying. Overdone.
