Dundee's Honey Brown attempts to attract its prospective buyers by enticing them to "Be Different." Yet, their beer fails to distinguish itself from many other bland watered-down lagers.
As a big fan of honey, I was excited as I noticed the mustard colored box in the liquor store freezer, and as an equally big fan of The Office, the name, "Dundee" allowed me to reminisce about Michael Scott's Dundies Awards. However, this beer doesn't deserve merit of any kind. Flavorless and bland, I had to search for the honey. With a name such as Honey Brown, the flavor should be more obvious. I would not advocate for an overpowering honey flavor, but I would like its presence to be more noticeable.
Maybe I got a bad batch, because I cannot fathom how this beer was the Gold Award Winner of the 2004 World Beer Cup: Special Honey or Ale Category.
For a delicious honey beer, try Blue Moon's summer ale, Honey Moon.
PROS: It's beer, drinkable, and has an awesome name that reminds me of The Office.
CONS: Doesn't deserve a Dundies Award. Very little flavor. I want more honey.
My Rating: C-

One of the best cheaper beers I've found that is distributed nationally is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, which is around 12.99-14.99 for 12 bottles. Their other beers are also high quality and similarly highly rated. The company is also very environmentally conscious, diverting 99+% of its waste from landfills.read here more
