Nice flavor at pitching time, might have wanted more honey, we'll see!
Yes more honey next time - I don't want mead, but I'd like the honey flavor to be at least present.
I think I'd like to try this with a better german hefewiezen yeast too - I recently tried a new one (for me) at Barclays and it had the most wonderful clove flavors. Hmmm honey and cloves - sounds like a baklava beer :-)
