Excellent taste to the Great Lakes Honey. I use this in place of sugar in lots of my recipes--salad dressings, breads making, sauces, honey butter, and many more. It is good plain on toast or mixed with peanut butter. We have used it on pancakes mixed with a little maple syrup. Possibilites are endless. I would buy this product again from Amazon not only because it was excellent but the price was too.

This is great tasting honey! And I love the big bottles. Great price too! Will definitely reorder this honey next time I need some honey!

Not only did my order arrive very fast, it's the best tasting honey I've tasted in a long time.

Just like reviewers noted, it may taste good and it may be cheap, but it is not pure honey.
Looking at their label, they don't put the word pure on the label. They use other words to make you think it is just the same as others.
From using some of the internet tests for pure honey, it fails.

Cancelling my subscription and going to try the honey from colorado that has high reviews on amazon.

This honey is a nice, light flavored clover honey that actually tastes like *real* honey (ie. nothing quite like those honey bears you buy from the grocery store). We often buy local or directly from the beekeeper, but the price was definitely worth the purchase of this 3 pack. I may buy again for mead and wine making, mainly because the price is so much better, but the taste is also light enough that it would work well with other ingredients . It does definitely have a clover honey taste to it, however, so if you dont like that flavor, you will not be happy with this. I don't find it as spicy as minimally processed local or the fantastic fireweed honey we get from others, but it's a great all-around honey that wont impart too much of it's own flavor into what you put it into. It was fantastic in tea!
All the bottles arrived in great condition. No problems with shipping.
For the price, it's a great buy. Take advantage of the subscription discount.

(note to homebrewers: This *might* not make the best straight mead on it's own.. if you're going honey+water+yeast, consider shelling out for a richer honey for a better result. This would probably go great in wines, or as a spiced or flavored mead).

This is some of the best honey I have bought in years. We use a lot of honey in our house, and the stuff at the local stores is not nearly as good as this is.

This is an excellent product, at a great price! I use a lot of honey in the kitchen, and this is a very flavorful variety, without being overpowering. As good as the much more expensive clover honey that I had been purchasing. Very pleased, and will definitely purchase again!

As other customers commented, I also had one bottle to leak during transit. The honey only got onto the one bottle and was a minor leak. In case the company is reading......when you tighten the lid, if the seal comes loose, honey will not leak out. Yah, if the lid had been the least bit tight, the honey wouldn't have leaked. This tiny discrepancy will not take a star away from my review.
Onto reviewing the actual honey! It's great! What's even better, subscribe & save! WooHoo! I got the pack of 3 2 pound bottles for $14.24 and free shipping. It's made here in the USA, has great color and the taste is wonderful! Honey's one of those luxuries that I have avoided for a while, because the price is just so high. With subscribe & save making the price so affordable, amazon charging no sales tax in my state, and FREE SHIPPING, I couldn't pass up this deal. With 6 pounds of it now, I'm set for quite a while!
Before I wrap up this review, I wanted to recommend to you fellow honey lovers to try dipping chicken strips in honey and eating them. It reminds me of when I was a kid........back when schools made actual food and not tv dinners. Once every 2 weeks, we'd have home made chicken strips and they'd give us real honey to dip them in. Pure heaven!!! Give it a try!

We got a Kurig last Christmas and found ourselves going into debt buying honey for our tea. Then I found the Great Lakes Honey here on Amazon. With Prime, it is a wonderful price!

Great Lakes Select Honey has a mild and sweet taste. We purchased it for our grand-children to spread on their waffles and toast. My husband uses it in his tea, on toast, pancakes and whatever he can spread it on. I gave my daughter one of the three bottles for her tea time. I guess we will be purchasing more soon.
