Here's one I just kegged that, although far from being adequately carbonated, leaves me with every impression that it will be 'Pretty Damn Good'. It is actually a variation of the first AG beer I made, a Fat Tire Amber Ale clone. I like this one better. A LOT better. The 2 pounds of raw wildflower honey definitely gives it a very unique flavor which is nicely balanced with the malt flavor - the 1/4 pound of biscuit malt definitely makes this one - and the hops - particulary the Willamette, and a really sweet, honey-like, almost floral aroma. You can't really tell this one finished at 6.4% ABV.
Highly Recommended ! :cheers:
