One day, while watching over a pasture of clover filled with bees next to our barley fields, Brewmaster Bernd started to wonder about the 'beers and the bees'. It seemed to him that Alberta honey and special, craft-brewed Alberta beer just might make for a beautiful relationship. Bernd created the first keg of Honey Brown in '98. Years later, it's one of Alberta’s most popular craft brews, and that subtle, sweet union of natural flavours is winning converts across the country.

Enjoyed at Last Chance Saloon in Wayne, Alberta. Pours an amber colour, with a small head that disappears quickly and no lacing. Butterscotch aromas with some mild sour infection smell. Sugar flavours with a bit of hops in the finish. Not bad overall, but infection is not cool, and a little too sweet.

When I crack open a cold one expecting a honey flavoured brown beer, that is what I want. It's not what I got. The beer is copper coloured with orange hints and a thin head. Caramel malt and honey is evident in the aroma, but so is acid. The flavour is metallic malt, slightly sweet, and not all that great.

the pour was about as beautiful as anything I have ever seen before.. the aroma.. top of the line... this is a beer I can be proud to say I am Canadian... tastes great with chicken but can be enjoyed best when alone reviewing on beerpal.

Review done in a crappy Chinese food restaurant that charged way to much for a bottle of beer. Poured the beer myself from a bottle into a hexagon shaped glass that said IKEA on the bottom, brew was a nice honey brown crystal clear but had zero cap, well maybe no zero but what little was produced was gone very quickly. Aroma was almost nonexistent and was made up of dusty smelling malts a slight sweetness. Taste was light but descent enough light roast malts, a touch of honey for some sweetness and a very mild hop presence. Mouth feel was soft and a touch flat feeling but not gross. Ok beer I can drink it but see no real reason to, honey brown’s just aren’t my style.

As soon as I opened this bottle the sweet aroma could be smelled. Dark brown in color and has a very sweet taste. I enjoyed this beer greatly and will probably pick it up, I do prefer this over Rickards Honey any day.

Deep bronze in color. Small but lasting head of dense foam that leaves some lacing. Smell of grain and "Alberta Clover Honey" gives a floral aroma. Taste is sweet, but has some hop to balance - Very well rounded. I found it a bit sweeter than other honey-browns, my favourite compared to Sleeman and Rickards.
