A tasty ale that looks and tastes like honey. Pours an amber-orange with a 5/8-inch head. Not outstanding, but good and satisfying nevertheless. Good carbonation, good balance.

~Pours a clear amber colour with big white creamy head. ~Has a sweet honey malt scent. Some glass. ~Has a sweet malty nut taste. Some glass. ~Creamy and medium bodied. Quick finish. ~This is a tasty brew. Unfortunetly there is a glass flavor from the bottle. Wish I could try this on tap.

Pours dark amber with a white fluffy head... moderate maltiness with a distinct earthy hoppiness... Thick with a mild sweetness... Pretty good!

Pours dark amber with a soft white head. Big caramel character that gets a lot of earthiness from the mineral flavor that I find in these. Fruity towards the finish, hops are herbal and provide just enough balance.

55 cL bottle. Pours clear golden deep amber with a dense off-white head. Light hoppy to malty aroma. Flavour is light fruity and of malt. Medium dry and light herbal bitterness. Towards a mild mouldy note. Medium dry finish with a mild bitterness.

ABV: 5% Calories: estimated at 250C Volume: 18.7 fl oz Glass: footed pilsener Purchased at: West Trenton Wine and Liquor, West Trenton NJ Price: $2.50 Consumed at: home First Impression: Aroma is herbal, a bit dusty. Visuals include a deep red and nice head with some lacing. Taste is only okay - the flavor is a bit muted, somewhat watery, kind of bland. Palate is good, spongey, with a dry crisp middle-length finish. Second Impression: I didn’t enjoy this a whole lot. It’s kind of weak, and while it’s easily drinkable, and not bad, it’s not great either. For the price, I expected more. Aroma: 8 out of 10 Visuals: 4 out of 5 Taste: 6 out of 10 Palate: 4 out of 5 Overall: 14 out of 20. It just isn’t that great of a beer, and when you have something like their great Oatmeal Stout to compare it with, why would you pay the same amount for this?
