Spring honey: usually of a light color and sweet delicate taste, sometimes with pronounced aroma of Russian olive or dandelion.
Summer honey is based on a variety of wild flowers such as white clover, raspberry, milkweed, sunflower, basswood and what else in flowering on the nearby fields and in the woods. The honey is of a bright amber color with slightly different hues depending on the source. It has a stronger aroma and higher acidity with a tendency to stay in liquid form longer than other types.
Fall honey is based on late-season blooms like goldenrod, asters, Japanese knotweed and others. Usually it is rich, robust, and complex, with a darker color and deep flavor.
Exception is the pure goldenrod honey, which has a light color and a very distinct aroma.
