Honey Cream was the ale that began my intrigue with real ales, so I’m defiantly partial to this sweet treat. I spent a summer with continuous 6 packs of this brew. Since that summer my tastes in beer has defiantly developed greatly. I realize this ale is nothing extraordinary, but I will always appreciate the history we share. I will always save room for an HC! This beer was there at my "beer birth" and I hope it will remain with me until the end.

Nov 20, 2008 Piss yellow pour and a lot more of a bitter flavor than you’d expect from the style. That’s not necessarily a deterrent for me since I despise cream ales in general, but this one still didn’t quite work out for me.

Jun 20, 2008 this beer pours a bright golden colour with a subtley sweet honey aroma. it’s faint, but becomes more noticeable in the taste. a little malty mid palate, finishes with soft hop character.

Apr 19, 2008 I really liked this. It started out sweet, and creamy, and had a very pleasant taste. It has a nice clean, bitter finish. I am surprised this beer hasn’t done better.

Mar 19, 2008 This beer has such a great name, but the beer itself doesnt live up to the name. Bitter, not honey dominates. Reminds me a bit of the santas private reserve. not so great.

Feb 24, 2008 <b>Bottle (22oz)</b>. Slightly hazy light amber with a 2cm white foamy-frothy head. Dry, papery caramel malt aroma with a hint of herbal/resin bitterness, honey-clover sweetness as it warms. Grassy-honey aroma- quite sweet, but bitter in the tail, smooth, light, vaguely creamy and surprisingly drinkable. Only just okay, but better than I expected.
