Review: Milk & Honey

Milk & Honey from Mitchell's Knysna Brewery
Rating: B

Appearance: orange/red-tinted honey, small head, no lacing

Smell: smells like honey, with some vegetative hops notes, definitely sweet.

Taste: sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. One wonders how much the name is influencing your tasting, because "milk and honey" seems like a great description. Promotional material does say that honey actually goes into this one, though. Honey, creamy, with enough hops to back it up.

Mouthfeel: a bit reminiscent of boddingtons, once the nitro has disipated. slightly creamy, good finish and aftertaste.

Drinkability: if you like a beer on the sweeter side (while still not being Belgian-syrupy), this would be a good choice. I tend to get tired of sweeter beers quickly, but I enjoyed this one to the end.

Serving type: on-tap
