Dundee's Honey Brown

All I can think is that this is going to be such a letdown after last night's Hopslam debauchery. Sigh. But we can't have Hopslam 365 days a year. Oh, but if we could... and yes, I'm saving the last bottle of this six-pack for my nightcap.

Facepalm back to reality. Dundee's Honey Brown is another go-to that's in our refrigerator not infrequently. It's an affordable, decent brew, very mild and easy-drinking. It pours a medium amber color with a white head that doesn't last too long. The aroma is well-balanced, with definite notes of the honey coming through and some lovely malt characteristics present. The honey is present from the get-go in this brew, without overwhelming. There are solid malts and a moderate hop presence in this, with a faintly metallic aftertaste, though that may come from the can that was the container. It's a fairly innocuous beer, not outstanding in any way, and by no means offensive. It's sweet, like a good sweet tea, yet the sweetness doesn't kill the beer.It does, however, lend a little bit of stickiness to the mouthfeel.

Honey Brown is fairly widely available, in 12-ounce bottles as well as 24-ounce cans. At 99 cents a can or $10 for a 12-pack, we will often pick up a few of the cans to stretch our beer dollar.

Overall a decent brew. I consider Dundee to be a great gateway company. They have mixed 12 packs with different styles. I consider that a great way to experience styles without spending a lot. They have a stout, IPA, and a couple different rotating flavors. "Hey, I like this citrusy bitter thing- this India Pale Ale, but this stout is a little too dark for my liking."- BAM- you've been experienced to different styles other than just the American Lagers.

That being said- back to this particular one, the Honey Brown. For being a cheaper lager, it's very drinkable, and not one of those "let's play beer pong" brews. a good go-to if you're low on funds but want something with some flavor.
