Quidi Vidi Brewing Company Honey Brown American Amber / Red Lager at 5.0% ABV
Pours a clear deep gold to pale amber with a short white head dissipating rapidly to a thin ring and no lacing. Nose is honey, light grain and malt, slightly floral. Taste is caramel and biscuity malt with hint of honey. Medium body and smooth, with moderate to prickly sustained carbonation.
Well, it’s not brown, but it’s sorta honey. (I’ll be generous there, since it’s local, and assume it’s more “honey” and less “corn syrup”.) I’ve of course had a great many of these over the years, but really the best one can say about it is, it gets the job done. Eventually. If “the job” is “quench thirst” and/or “impair judgement”. It’s better than an adjunct lager… barely. Fairly mediocre, overall.
