Commercial Description:
Available filtered and pasteurised in 500ml bottles.
Production moved from Youngs to Wells & Youngs in 2007.
Unusual name, unusual beer. The Waggle Dance is a movement a bee performs to alert the hive of a source of nectar.
Waggle Dance is brewed with a touch of honey which gives it a taste of summer no matter when you raise a glass. This is balanced by a healthy does of hops to provide the bitterness that gives a wonderfully delictae flavour. The overall result is beautifully balanced and sneakily seductive.
Pale ale and crystal malt, Fuggle and Golding hops together with South American honey create this delicious golden ale with a superb honey aroma.

Not bad, but disappointing. Golden ale aroma with no discernable honey, except after it dries on the side of the glass. Tangy, generic golden ale. The faintest twinge of honey at the very beginning of the sour finish. Probably my least-favorite Young's so far.

Bottled. Amber with white head. Aroma of malt and honey. Flavor is caramel, honey and a hop bitterness.

From old notes. Bottle from Sainsburys. Gold with a white head. Not as much Honey in it as when Vaux used to brew it but that’s not a bad thing. Reasonable hop bitterness to balance but still a silly beer.

From old notes. Sampled from a 16 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium amber color with a large white head. The aroma was tangy, sour and a bit sweet basic ale. The flavor was tangy, mildly sweet and had only the slightest touch of honey. The finish was medium length, tangy and had a faint hint of caramel. Ok.

Bottle. The aroma is quite bitter with a little bit hidden sweetness, but no honey. The head is quite large, white and creamy, long lasting. The body is clear and red-orange. The first taste is sweet but disappears fast, then it gets quite bitter. The body is light to medium, dry and creamy without much carbonation. The best beer with honey I have drunk so far...

Bottle - Clear orange gold. Off white head. Mediun carbonation and body. Malty with just a touch of citrus and honey. Slightly skunky. Light bitterness.Can’t say I really enjoyed it.

Bottle, 50cl, local off-sales. Very tasty ale, nice golden sunshine look about it with good amount of fizz. Not an overwhelming taste of honey like I expected, but nevertheless still detectable.

Small white creamy head, mostly diminishing. Clear and flat appearance with an amber honey hue. Light aroma of dough... and honey (shock!). Heavy sweet flavour, finishing with bitter hops. Creamy and soft palate, slight metallic finish. Honey doesn’t seem to blend into the beer, seems... separate. Nice name (shrugs).
