COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
"Spyhopping” is the playful activity in which the orca will vertically pop out of the water in order to check out their surroundings or to examine prey. Spyhopper Honey Brown is a light amber coloured ale that has a sweet malt flavour combined with an excellent balance of hop character. Spyhopper is handcrafted using honey malt and a signature blend of Hallertauer and Saaz hops. This combination united with a delicate twist of locally produced wildflower honey creates a beer with a mild hop impression, smooth, full body and honey sweet finish.

Not a bad honey brown, but pretty common fare. Nothing special. Got is as part of a mixer-pack. Much prefer the Red AMber adn the Dark.

This was tasty with a good malt and hops addition. I liked the sweetness and the dry finish. It was a nice amber ale.

Not much here, a very light vague sweetness, like sugar water....a poor effort, why bother?
