BrewsDay :: Cabin Fever Honey Bock by New Glarus Brewing Company, New Glarus Wisconsin

This week's beer tasting was Cabin Fever Honey Bock by New Glarus Brewing Company, New Glarus Wisconsin. New Glarus Brewery is most notably known for their Spotted Cow beer and is widley available throughout Wisconsin and beyond. The Honey Bock is listed a Seasonal release.

What they say about it "This classic style in a brighter direction than the traditional dark German Bock. Cabin Fever is a 'Helles' or Pale Bock with a golden color and lower strength than the German Style Dark Bock. This Pale Bock is brewed with an exclusive blend of Wisconsin Pale and Caramel Malts that balance seamlessly with a unique Lager Yeast and European hops."

What I have to say... I think it was simply "ok". The flavor started off with a bright, sweet honey character but then ended in a crisp and almost sharp note that reminded both me and my husband of more of an American Style Lager (aka Budweiser). This beer is drinkable and is probably enjoy to most however I can honestly say this just isn't my type of beer and I was rather disappointed. The packaging is simple, clean and in line with the other packages done by New Glarus.
