I think I really like this.
It's not like most other beers. I think I'm most noticing the saffron, less of the honey and only a hint of the grapes. It smells of a herbal/spice and grapes.
I'll give Mike his comment that it's really weird. But again, I think I rather like it.
Bizarre beer, with a sweet flavor profile dominated by honey and muscat. The overall feeling is a lot like a Belgian pale, but without the effervescence. Somewhat cloying finish.
Light sweet bodied. Muscat grape is pretty strong in the taste and the honey coating keeps going.
