Sarasota Brewing Ya Mills Honeymeade Ale

Light gold. Honeyish nose. Sweet, bland, with some fruit and some faults - dirty yeast thing I think. Overall, drinkable but between the blandness and faults just barely.

At brewpub. Pure gold and clear with no lacing. Light floral aroma is more honeysuckle than honey, and a little fruity too. Low carbonation. Not bad for a honey ale, has a nice alcohol punch at the end that dries it out and has a nice sweet graham and honeyed body.

on tap-pours a quickly diminishing white head and yellow color. Aroma is mild sweet. Taste is mild sweet-caramel, some flatness from hops. OK/mild carbonation.

Draft at brewpub. Pours a dark amber with a medium white head that diminished quickly. Large sweet citrus aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Good complex sweet flavor with a short finish.

Sweet floral aroma. Headless and golden/orange in color. Honey, ripe fruit and a lot of malt. Gets cloying after a while.

Light amber color, thin white head. Sweeter malt aroma, not much honey. Flavor starts out as honey, first sip finished highly alcoholic and tasted like rum. As I kept drinking the alcohol mellowed and I got some hops toward the end, still a bit of alcohol though. Medium bodied. Kind of odd, but not too bad.

This pours a gold color with a medium white head. Lacing is moderate. Aroma is malty but I can’t really detect honey, per se. I can definetely detect some honey notes in the flavor along with a mild hop bitterness. Body is medium and the finish is medium as well. An interesting beer.

Pal amber with a very nice white head that leaves excellent lacing. Aroma is honey with some mild hoppiness. Flavor is honey with some malty sweetness and abit of hop bitterness. Honey dominates. Smooth medium body.
