Taste o' the Honey

Taste o' the honey... it's been sitting in bottles for a 15 days now just conditioning. I had a taste last week with Drew but was still too early. And I've been a little skeptical since the Amber Ale never really got going. But the Honey Wheat was much further fermented and I had a good feeling on this one.

I grabbed a couple of bottles and put them in the fridge to chill so Liz and I could try one. Just cracked it and immediately noticed that there was actually carbonation! And when I poured it even some head! Whoa... much different experience than the Amber Ale, and really a product of the yeast.

How to describe the taste... honey is there and the carbonation really hits. Mouthfeel is complete, not overpowering. Scent is reminiscent of the early blow off tube smell, but nothing to worry about. Taste is friendly and floral, fresh buzzing aftertaste. A deeper color than the wit beers, which you'd expect and a good wheat taste as well. Overall very nice!

Even the most critical judge (Liz) was pleased.
