Pours golden with white head, aroma is floral with some malt, taste up front is a bit sweet and fruity, goes into sweet from the honey and goes into a light finish. Not bad.

noncaloric (684) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 25, 2009
Very pale gold with an active white head, some decent but temporary lace. Effervescent. Pleasant floral honey and malt aroma. First sip is similarly sweet with a husky carbonic roughness to it. Thereafter nearly flavorless. Seriously nondescript. The beer is more felt than tasted, has a nice dry chalkiness to it that saves it from descriptors like ’watered-down’.

nuplastikk (2445) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 19, 2009
Draft at the Tied House. Filtered thin light yellow-tan color. CO2 bubbles, no real head at all. Certainly doesn’t come off as a top-notch craft beer. Thin, watery, and dirty. Relatively drinkable in it’s own special way. A touch of honey malt sweetness, though pretty insipid overall.

WallyWalrus (205) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - JUL 27, 2009
12oz. bottle. Pours a very pale yellow with a thin white head and loads of carbonation. Aroma is light and earthy, with an earthy yeast scent complemented by honey and citrusy hops. Body is light, with an earthy maltiness and some sweeter hops and honey flavors that don’t go anywhere in particular. Not bad, but really unremarkable.

Bockyhorsey (2590) - Mesa, Arizona, USA - MAY 14, 2009
Bottle from my niece. Decent honey aroma. Yellow body with white head. Thick honey and malt for flavor. Some chalk left on palate. Was wondering if you soaked some bread in this beer then toasted it what it would be like. But didn’t have time for that.

mjg74 (2106) - La Mesa, California, USA - FEB 8, 2009
Bottled. Medium golden in color. Sweet acidic aroma. Somewhat grainy as well. Sweet flavors up front. A little malt and grain. Not much in the way of hops. Fairly simple but not bad.

bhensonb (7137) - Woodland, California, USA - JAN 25, 2009
Bottle from Beer Geek. Amber tinged golden color with a disappearing white head. Aroma is rather citrus. Light bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is pale malt with mild citrus hop. It’s not really sweet, but there is a touch of honey flavor. Finishes more dry than not. Refreshing.
