I'll post tomorrow about the second try, OK?
Cheers!

My verdict (after two test pints, a month and a week after bottling)-- ehh.
Again, it was a pleasant enough beer. Very light in color, lots of esters
in the taste (as one would expect with that much adjunct sugar-- honey-- added)
a touch on the bitter side (which doesn't bother me). I was extra special
***about sterility, and I'm no slouch usually, so I'm pretty sure it tastes
like I asked it to taste. I'm sure my beer buddies and I will make short work
of downing it all. But it once again begs the question-- why the fuss? Has
anyone had any of this that was outstanding?
Drinking in good health
