leaparsons (6324) - Leicester, - SEP 8, 2004
Hazy gold with a small head. Aromas are honey with melon and some sulphur. Flavours are weak honey with some fruit. Inoffensive but very dull. So...dull. Not as good as I thought it would be.

CanIHave4Beers (2095) - Des Moines, Iowa, USA - MAY 22, 2012
On Draught from a Keg,
Pours a golden color with a small but well retained head.

The aroma is very lightly sweet with some pronouced fruity notes & some grassiness. Not unplesant in the laeast but the aroma is very mild on this one.

The falvor certinally has some honey dew melon character. The beer is sweet but not annoyingly so. The beer has a nice light bitterness with a nice presense of earthy and herbal hops.

greenmanalishi (424) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - MAY 20, 2012
Golden pour and spritzy palate. Not particularly complex but nicely balanced with hints of honey that are not cloying.

worldbeertaste (619) - Lancashire, ENGLAND - MAY 19, 2012
Light golden orange with a creamy white quick disappearing head. Smells of honey. Sweet and flowery. Smooth medium oily body with a fizzy carbonation. I can’t taste much honey in here. Sweetness malt is light and well-balanced against the hops. The problem is that it’s not that interesting. Neither nice and sweet or citrus or hoppy. Just plain.

patricks110 (914) - Alberta, CANADA - MAY 3, 2012
UPDATED: MAY 11, 2012 A nice sweet session beer. The pour is a pale golden straw with a thin wispy white head. The nose is sweet and lemony with light bitterness and caramel malts. Flavor is sweet and fruity with mostly citrus fruit and toasty malt characters. overall, a sweet but tasty beer.

Really pleasant, smooth and "easy-to drink". In the other hand a bit faceless. Still good indeed!

BlackHaddock (1709) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - APR 30, 2012
Brown 500ml bottle, best before 17th June 2009, drank late May 2009 on a sunny afternoon watching my garden grow around me. At one with the world, this slightly chilled bottle hit the nail on the head for me. Poured into a UK pint sleeve glass it looked a picture, light golden blonde with a white foam head sat on top. The head did stay for a while before retreating into a wispy covering with a thicker collar around the glass, some lacing too. Hints of honey and an English country garden (or was that my own gardens aroma?) smell, very subtle but also very noticeable. The hop content ensures the beer isn’t too sweet, the honey element tries to dominate, but just about fails, the other ingrediants coming into their own as you take great gulps of this most refreshing of beers. Well balanced and smooth feel to this beer, well crafted. A joy to drink, mellow and well rounded, just like the rear label claims!

eManu (381) - Kuala Lumpur & Brussels, BELGIUM - APR 29, 2012
Pours a clear pale yellow, with almost no head. Aroma was just a hint of very light honey, but bearly because I tried very hard to smell something that was hidden. Flavor, nothing really there, even a Tonic water has more flavors. It says "Pasteurised" and that might be the problem, it kills the beer. Forget this thing, it has nothing.

ADesenberg (198) - Ohio, USA - APR 27, 2012
Bottle: pours a nice orange color with a creamy white head. It has a nice sweet aroma. The flavor is all about the honey, though. In the heat, this is an awesome beer, super refreshing.

edpeg (505) - Berlin, GERMANY - APR 24, 2012
Bottle 0,5l. Pours golden orange amber cloudy with creamy lacing head. Aroma is citrusy hops, honey, apricot jam. Palate is soft, mouthful, slick and carbonation smooth mouthful. Taste is refreshing, malty, with flavours of honey, oranges, with decent pale ale bitterness and citrusy hoppiness in the finish.
