Honey Amber Rose

Honey Amber Rose is brewed by Beautiful Brews, Inc. in Boca Raton, Florida. It is the first beer from Florida I have reviewed. The folks over there were kind enough to send me a few brews to sample and review, thanks! I have to say I was skeptical at first because it is marketed as a beer for women and it is technically a fruit beer (not my favorite). According to their website they revived an 1830’s beer recipe that called for rose hip shells, very  healthy apparently and very unique.

The beer poured a hazy, golden caramel color; almost brown. As you can see, there wasn’t much head and there was minimal lacing. It smelled, to me, like the rose hip shells they brew it with. There were also hints of honey and a little malt. It tasted pretty much the same as the smell but with more honey. The beer is 4% alc/vol so you don’t taste any of the alcohol. Not my favorite beer but a female companion loved it and drank one of the bottles.

All in all, I give this beer a 6/10! Not the best beer rating we have here but not the worst either. I would say that if you know a woman who would like to try a beer pass this along to her. I don’t know anywhere in Chicago that sells this beer so it will be hard to find it. I’m sure if you are really interested you could email the brewery and see what you can arrange.

Regards!
