threesheets (11), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Apr 11, 2005 A nice full-flavoured honey brown. I noticed a hint of maple in the six pack I poured. Of the four Muskoka beers I sampled not my fav (I like the cream ale) but better then anything Sleezman puts out (I know that doesn’t say much).

Pours a whiskey gold colour with a fairly generous offwhite head. The aroma is cereal and grains with a hint of chemicals, and nearly no hops to speak of. The taste is actually not bad, like the smell a bit chemically but overall a beer which is only exceptional in how average it is for the buck a beers. robinvboyer (1071), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada May 23, 2008 341ml bottle, very grainy nose, and a very mealy/cereal/grainy flavour, the honey adds a slight sweet flavour, meh, not bad. matt7215 (629), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada Dec 7, 2007 341 ml bottle. pours thin orange with a big white head that is gone quickly. big carbonation bubbles. weak aromas of grass with some traceable sweetness. bland boring flavours with a dry finish. i wish brewers would stop making honey lagers. Gpnterojd (133), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Oct 28, 2007 From memory. I can’t get over the odd distasteful feeling I got whenever I drank this beer. I think it was due to the artificial sweetness. There was a weird cloying each time I drank. It seems oddly prejudiced, but I just shudder every time I think of this beer. There was a sort of bland maltiness and sweetness, but not a malt sweetness. Six overall because it ties Muskoka Premium Lager (a far superior beer) for the cheapest bottled beer available in Ontario. pootzboy (900), Calgary/ Kitchener, Alberta, Canada Sep 29, 2007 Updated: Jun 21, 2008Bottle fresh from brewery
Honey beers are not to everyone’s taste as they tend to offend with too much sweetness or not enough honey flavor…This one has trimmed back hops like the others but there is an excellent balance between fresh bready malt and tangy natural honey flavor which seems to compliment the hopping without being overly sweet….malty, decently balanced for the style this is my second favorite Honey lager….and fresh tasting too.
