Quoted for truth. Call a fruit if you want but there is nothing wrong with a good white beer in the summer. The Belgiums and Germans also make good ones.

I'm not a huge fan of Rickard's Red but their Honey Brown is ok. White is their best beer but I have yet to try their Dark.

I used to love Sleeman's Honey Brown but my favourite HB is Big Rock. I did a tour of the brewery last year and it was fantastic. I highly recommend it. $25 for a tour, a few free samples to start, a few beers worth of samples at the end and you can take a 6 mix-and-match pack of your choosing home.

I've seen it for sure. They also have it Loungeburger, decent brew.
