COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Inspired by visits to English country pubs, Honker’s Ale combines a fruity hop aroma with a rich malt middle to create a perfectly balanced beer. Immensely drinkable, Honker’s Ale is not only the beer you can trust but one you’ll look forward to time and again.

Draft. Served in a standard pint. Transparent yellow color, sizable white head with nice retention. Moderate carbonation. Nose of caramel malt with light hops. Lighter body. Flavor starts with some hops, turns into sweeter malt, and finish mildly bitter. Simple and easy to drink.

pour from a 12 oz bottle. Amber bre with energetic head. Aroma of spice, fruit, a little vineous. Taste is mild malts with a dry finish, pleasant and drinkable but rather simple. Bottle is out of date so I’ll revisit with a fresh one. Ovaerall, pleasant nice brew.

Copper almost brown appearance, slight to medium head. Slight malty undertones of caramel and toffee. The taste follows closely to the nose. Not bad, but not great.

A nice color, pretty good tasting beer. It’s easy to slam a few back on any given day while still having good beer.

on tap at a subterranean bar in Chicago, Streeters? served in a pitcher with frosted mugs (boo) its a nice amber color and tastes pretty straight forward, true to its description you can slug the crap out of it..

Hazy-to-clear amber pour with a fleeting head, on-tap. There is a little bit of malt and caramel in the nose, but not too much. There is a decent balance of malt and hops, a fair balance of sweet and bitter. There are some citrus notes that are too far away in the background. I’d try it again, but I’m not going out of my way to.

330ml Bottle. Pours amber, thin lacing. Great caramalt aroma and taste... A warm tasty putty palate, the best part of this beer. I drank this in my bed.

Bygers (79) - Oslo, NORWAY - MAR 20, 2012
Bottle 0,33l. Amber with a moderate off white head. Fruity, sweet caramel malt aroma. Sweet caramel malt with a light spicy, bitter hops flavor. Medium body. Happy suprise, above expectations! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Perfectly decent I suppose, but if I want bitter then I’ll buy superior bitter in Britain (as that is where I live).
