Smells of clover and honey
Golden with a thick head. Surprisingly not overpowering with hops. Smooth honey flavor with a good amount of hop bitterness. Very aromatic. B-

so nice!

The aroma punches you in the face and then kisses your bruises. The hoppy smell is intimidating, but misleading. Once you taste it, the honey takes over. Mellows out the hoppy taste with lots of citrus. The color is a nice golden clean look.
HopSLAM! Da-da-da... Da-da-da... Let the beers be beers!

I completely agree. I first

I completely agree. I first tried this brew about 2 weeks ago and fell in love. The smell and taste slaps you around... in a good way. Lots of flavor that is not too overbearing or bitter. Love it.
