Tastes like a typical wheat from an American brewpub. I did actually get a lot of honey out of it....a good summertime brew, but I would pass on it at most times.

Lots of sweetness--nice in a way. Clean flavor, however. I was told this was supplanting the "Light" beer on the menu, and if so, that’s probably an improvement, but not by much. (on tap at Austin location)

Honey and wheat together isn’t necessarily a good thing. I mean, it’s drinkable and all, but why are they bragging about putting 80 lbs of honey in each batch? If you put enough of anything in your beer, it will make itself known. Yeah, the honey definitely stood out, but there should be a more prominent wheat taste and a hint of honey, the honey completely dominated instead. Not great, but it was only a buck.
