Beer of the Week

The beer: Honey Brown Lager

Brewed by: Dundee Brewing Company, Rochester, New York

Description (from the website): "Man first brewed with honey more than 2,000 years ago. Back then, fermented honey was proclaimed the drink of kings. We first brewed Original Honey Brown Lager nearly 20 years ago. And we like to think every batch is still fit for a king. In the years since, Honey Brown has been brewed with the same premium barley, hops and pure Manitoba White Clover Honey to produce a great-tasting, medium-bodied lager. This isn’t your watered-down light beer from college. Nor is it a heavy craft beer. Honey Brown pours right smack dab in the middle. A delicious golden amber color, it’s a beer you can drink throughout the night while staying true to yourself and your evolving palate. Enjoy it with friends. Enjoy it with strangers. It doesn’t matter to us—just enjoy it."

Would I buy it again?: Probably not. I wasn't quite as fond of it as some of the other honey beers I've had. It was a bit too sweet, though not too bad. But when there as many beers out there as there are, that marginal oversweetness is enough to discourage me.
