MacTarnahan's Oregon Honey Beer

MacTarnahan's Oregon Honey Beer.  This one has been sitting in my fridge since the last time we went to World Market... I just haven't felt up to the sweetness, but tonight... tonight I figured I would go for it.

In a word... underwhelming.  I thought I would have a real taste of honey goodness, but I was severely dissapointed.  No honey taste... at all.

A bit of where my anticipation comes from... when I was traveling in Estonia, we were taken to a wonderful medieval restaurant called Olde Hansa.  This place has honey beer (check the menu here) that has some real flavor.  Not too sweet and not to much honey... a fine ale that has probably forever ruined every other honey beer out there.  Not to say I won't keep trying... if you have any that you know of, in fact, let me know.  By the way... nothing really memorable about the meal.  It was good, but no lasting impression.  If you go there, go there for the beer first and foremost. :)
