Big Sky Summer Honey Seasonal Ale:
Hello all and welcome to the one stop beer review…place? Source?  Man, that does not roll off the tongue at all and I need a better slogan.   Well while I think about the next step in the marketing plan, let’s talk shop, shall we?  First, I’d like to welcome Big Sky Brewing Company to the fold and their summer brew: Summer Honey Seasonal Ale.  This beer is unlike yesterday’s brew, this not heavy on the honey flavoring but tends to lean towards spice and malts.  The brew pours a nice golden color that is reminiscent of a wheat beer, a nice half a fingers worth of head and a nose of honey and wheat.  The initial sip is very mellow with a mix of wheat and malts and this moves to a mid-tongue of spice and wheat.  The back-end of the tongue is same as the after taste which is surprisingly heavy on the hops and leaves a rather noticeable skunk.  It’s odd that there is no honey flavor that I could detect in this beer but that might not be a bad thing.  Where as Blue Moon’s Honey Wheat is for those who would want a savory mellow beer, this would be it.  I find this interesting enough to look forward to more from Big Sky.  This is worthy of a spot in the six-pack and if you like it, go for more.
