One of the first beers I ever had. Noticeable honey aroma, but taste of honey is faint. Crisp, clean and easy to drink. Very light on the palate. Pours attractive golden colour with a big fluffy head.

Although the beer appeared thin and weak looking in the glass, I did notice a hint of honey in the aroma. Unfortunately this didn’t carry over into the flavor, which was weak to almost non-existant. I don’t really mean to knock the folks at Leinenkugels, but the few beers I have tried have been disappointing. These guys seem to be going for the Micro-beer marketing with all the special attention to the beer. I guess they didn’t realize that their beer is anything but special. Ho-hum, next.

From a bottle, this poured a light yellow with bot much white head and little lacing. Nose was very mild with hints of wheat, and mouthfeel watery. Flavor is a little sweet and the finish is dry. Bland to say the least.

I have to admit that I liked this beer, but only because it was refreshing and not truly a beer in my opinion. I mean I can see myself setting one of these on my night stand and waking up in the middle of the night with a dry mouth and quenching my thirst with this and not even noticing it wasn’t water. Still, it doesn’t fail at everything; it’s hard to get a beer to taste so close to water as this, so, kudos?

Bouteille de 12 oz achetée chez Hannaford (Machias, ME). Arôme: Odeur de céréale avec une pointe de pomme. Apparence: La couleur est blonde pâle avec une faible densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de céréale avec une pointe de miel. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement vineuse (?). Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de miel en arrière goût. (Rating #1779)

Well, this is the first new beer I have rated in about a month and a half and I’m not impressed. Pours out a pale yellow with a whimpy white head to it. Aroma is weak and barely noticeable, just a general sweetness to it. Taste is again very bland, the wheat comes through finally but this beer is too sweet, bleh. The sad thing is, the sweetness doesn’t even taste like real honey it tastes artificial and manufactured.
