From the brewer

In 1969 the Boss 429 Big Block Mustang was the meanest muscle car on the road, while they only made these cars for 2 years the Boss 429 is still considered one of the top muscles cars ever made, only 1359 were produced in those 2 years. Much like this amazing car our honey pale is a limited production and we feel it’s one of the meanest beers we make, in a manner of speaking. We add local Raspberry honey to the brew during the boil; the majority of the sugars are fermented out leaving behind a slight citrus and floral undertone, when Northern Brewers and Cascade hops are added it makes for a complex, smooth easy drinking beer. We do caution you, once you drive the boss it’s tough to jump back into that compact hybrid light beer.

Who's been drinking this

Briefly tastes like a pilsner but gets very hoppy very quickly. I'd say this ventures clearly into IPA territory. It's especially bitter on the back end, but I guess I do taste honey?
Definitely hoppier than I was looking for at the moment. Pretty good flavor, but not enough time to explore more as I was shopping for something specific.
