A LONG time ago someone brought a mix pack to a gathering I had at the house. I've been slowly working through them - other than the lack of hop presence in the pale ale and IPA I think they aren't too bad. I think the value on these beers are pretty good - thoughts?

The value is decent because they are cheap. As for quality, I think they're on the same tier as the AB-Michelob "craft" beers. Generally average.

I think they are slightly better than AB-Michelob, but not much better. I'd def rather drink these than the regular (non-"craft") BMC offerings.

I agree with you that they are slightly better than AB-Michelob's offerings. They have some ways to go but better to drink Dundee's then any AMC offering.

The liquor store down the street used to have 12 packs of honey brown in cans for 9.00$. I agree, its pretty average beer, but at that price, I bought it quite a bit.

I find their wheat beer pretty typical american wheat but also highly slammable for times when I just mowed the lawn or something

If you come across it, try Dundee's Octoberfest. Damn nice beer. Should be out soon. Their Pale Bock is tasty as well.I do agree that the others are a half step above Michelob's craft line. And good value for the dollars.

I may have to look out for this...

Being that they are brewed here in Rochester, I have sort of an affinity for them, but I don't usually buy them unless that is all there is, or I am super broke, but usually in the latter case, I just drink my stock of HB. That being said, I think that they brew some pretty good beers for what they are going for.

I bought a 12'er sampler and it blew chunks. Every beer tasted exactly the same.I wasnt satisfied with it at all.

+1, it's been a long time, so I don't remember what the beers tasted like, but I do remember that I told myself that I'd never purchase it again.If I'm going to compromise I'll drink PBR, it's way cheaper and it's better, IMO.

Every one tasted the same? Really? Noone is saying they are world class beers but they sure are to style.

yeah - like I said earlier I think the IPA tasted like a pale ale and the pale ale tasted like almost nothing. I wouldn't say they all tasted the same though. If anyone was drinking bottle after bottle of these after the 3rd or 4th beer anything will start to taste the same...

The only High Falls beer I'll drink is Genny Cream Ale while hanging out with the GF's Father! (Full disclosure: I have to kill at least a 6 pack of micro's first!)

Not sure if you caught the reference there - the famous carlos line when it comes to movies that people say suck is that "I'd like to see you do better!!!"If no risk was involved I think it is something that most of us here would give a go at if we could.

Its early for me still.

meh - it was a cross-over reference

Honey Brown is food....Doesn't burn a hole in your gut like bud.Sure a bottle of H/B MLPA is better, but when in Rome (or Rochester...) it does the trick.
