So, I am not an expert at formulating recipes... I could use some help with this one. I wanted to make a summer beer with a SLIGHT rose/honey essence to it. I haven't really seen much about anyone brewing with rose petals, but I thought the aroma might be interesting, and people definitely cook with it, so I thought it could work... Here is what I have come up with, please let me know if it works for a blonde and what you think about the honey-rose part as well... Thanks!

P.S. Here are some recipes that use roses: http://www.kattitudes.com/creative/2007/07/19/cooking-with-roses/
 
I'd look into honey malt instead of actual honey.....honeys got a way of fermenting out into nothing. I like the rose petals idea!
