Label Reads: “What’s supposed to go in beer? German purity laws say you’re only allowed four ingredients. But this is America . . . the land of individualism, civil disobedience, and footballs that don’t roll like the rest of the world wants them to. So we decided that for Dundee Honey Brown we’d add a fifth — a touch of pure honey. Granted, that’s a recipe that’s a little different. But we figure you can be like everyone else or you can be yourself and drink something unique. Go ahead. Be different.”

Handwritten notes: This beer is just sweet enough to be gross. There is a noticeable honey quality that sticks in your throat like peanut butter to the roof of a dog's mouth. I am not generally a fan of sweet things of any kind, be they people, potatoes, or women named "Caroline". I sure as shootin' don't want a diabetes causing beer on a sunny ass summer day. But today I watched an episode of "The Nature of Things" about bees which was quite fascinating. This made me want to give a honey beer a shot. Shot given. Strike taken.
