Wii bowling time. It’s a snow day here in Chicago so Kevin just brought whatever beer he could manage so Leine-ys it is. I mean…we’ve all had it once or twice, so I guess its time for a beertastic treatment? Hold tight.
Brewery Hometown: Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin
Appearance: Pale pale pale golden yellow. Decent head. Did I mention its a light yellow? Very little color. Not much in the appearance realm.
Aroma: Some sweet tones but mostly it smells like [Andy:] “just another light beer at a frat party” Adam: “I think it smells sweeter in the bottle” (We were sampling from a glass). Where is the honey? Kevin beertapped Adam’s bottle and it barely rose.
Taste: Maybe sweet? But there isn’t anything besides a small hint of sweetness. Adam: “its your generic sweet beer” Kevin: “no hoppy or malty taste, nothing stands out except maybe a slight sweet/honey taste” Adam: “Solid, but…meh…” Andy “its a light beer…but I don’t think that’s what they’re trying to do” Adam: “Better than UFO!” It’s beer. Andy “I wouldn’t mind this while being COMPLETELY DISTRACTED AND SPILLING” Leaves your mouth feeling awkwardly sweet and awful. SIGH.
Alcohol: 4.9%
Drink one or all?: 1? How bad is the selection?
Cost: $7/12
Overall: Andy: 10/20, Adam: 12/20, Kevin: 13/20. Your average beer with a squirt of honey in it.

Brian yelled this on Dec 21 08 at 1:34 amyea this is basically just a simple beer with a little extra sweetness. i kinda thought it was like miller lite that was brewed with a little honey. however it is easy to down and its got a decent ABV% to start out the evening, or keep it going…
Noah yelled this on Feb 11 09 at 1:23 pmSee if you can get your hands on Dundee Honey Brown. I’m curious to try Leiney’s Honey Weiss with this Honey Brown at the same time. The brown is like a nice, pushing amber color but it also has the mellowing honey added in. Could be fun.
