Home Brew is not about Alcohol Content, but about flavor. Boosting the Buzz factor up is only a side benefit of home brewing . Here is nice colored beer, with a nice white head and full of flavor. It uses Almmost 7 lbs of fermentables , of which 50% is Honey. So instead of a malty finish, you get a slight honey finish. Dry not sweet. Low Alcohol, summer session beer. English Ale Dry Yeast floc's very well and does not get disturbed to easily once settled.
The Name? The Ladle I was using fell out from it handle and I was arm deep in the Wort fishing it out of the primary. Rick my neighbor laughed his @$$ off.

Special Instructions
1.Steep grains at 170 degrees for 30 minutes. Keep honey in hot water to allow it to flow easily. once steeping is complete add honey and Malt , bring to boil
2.add hops according to schedule. ad Irish Moss last 10 minutes. You can add crushed Coriander at last 10 minutes for a Belgian twist. ( maybe Belgian ale yeast ?)
3.Ferment out, bottle with 2/3 to 3/4 cup corn sugar and wait 7 days for conditioning. It's light so aging is not all that critical. but I find it is best at four weeks in the bottle

I love the back story. I usually make an amber for my summer brews but I think I'll try this one out this year.
