Sweet, very honeyish and floral. The malt character mainly supports the honey. No real hop character and a sweet, honeyish finish. At first, it seems ok, but as it warms it reveals itself to be lacking balance. Too sweet, and not as enjoyable as most of the Eastern European honey lagers with which it bears superficial similarity.

(330cc bottle, BB 25/04/13) Pours a clear orange body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of honey, grain, and herbs. Flavor of honey, florals, herbs, and grain.

On bottle from Lider Express Ñuñoa , Santiago. Dark golden color, good foam. Intense honey aromas Light/ medium body and complexity. Sweet , unbalanced in that regard . Stay clear unless you love honey

Sampled in a 12oz bottle. Pours bright orange and no head. A decent brew. Like the different honey flavor but overall the flavor is too sweet.

This one is too sweet, too much honey, it doesn’t has a good balance at all, it only has a good appearance

Bottle to a 1/2 pint tasting glass. Presented a clear, gold/amber color, with beige/light tan, cream and bubbles head foam that reduced rather quickly to a small ring and film, leaving etched like lacing that also reduced,.. to spots and streaks. The aroma was malt, a little cardboard, and light, almost brown sugar sweetness. The flavor was light malt dominated by a cloying, honey sweetness that was not appealing to me, and too much for me to finish.

For what it is, it’s pretty good. The beer used for it is pretty decent quality. The flavour is too sweet for my liking, however, and while I may steal a bit from a family member or girlfriend, I doubt I’d ever feel like having this much sweet on my drink (seeing as I’m not into pop or sodas much).

Good for what it is. Tons of honey in the aroma and flavor. Clearly backsweetened. Thick, slick, honey like mouthfeel. Very rich and sweet. No off flavors. A bit of sulfur in the nose.

Not greta aroma but the first sensation is sweet, not bubbly, but the taste with the aroma resembles crystalized honey.

Good one. As a honey beer it does taste like honey, so don’t expect to get a malt flavour. Nice colour, amber. Probably you won’t notice the alcohol in this beer. Good enough though, perfect mix of beer and honey.
