Barbar Belgian Honey Ale

Brewed by Brasserie Lefebvre
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Rebecq-Quenast, Belgium

Bottle @ De Geuzen. Dark golden colour, dense white head. Aroma of malts, honey, ripe fruits. Flavour is soft and sweet, malts, fruity, a bit sour towards the finish, honey. Very nice strong ale.

A light amber golden slightly hazy beer with a thin head that had a strong nose of fruit and yeast. the mouth feel was slightly carbonated with a hint of spice. the finish was clean

Poured a light orange color with a white foamy head. Aroma was pretty bland, but theres was some spice and fruitiness in there. Flavor was really sweet and a bit thick, i guess due to the honey. Very cloying and too sweet.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy orange body with thin head. Aroma is light spice, orangepeel and honey. Flavor is the same as aroma with some corriander noted.

33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex honey ale, good balance, hazy, rocky head, good brew

Bottle from Foodery. Straw yellow color with a little orange and cloudiness. Moderate head. Nice warm honey aroma that mixes with bready caramel malt. Yeast and some fruit on nose as well but I’m missing the wheat. Taste is similar withpepper and honey aftertaste.

Poured a hazy brownish orange. The honey is very strong in the aroma, some mild fruit notes also. Have a malty, spicy and of course honey flavour.This is my first honey ale, but if others taste similar to this, it is definately a style I will embrace. I was happy to try this one and will have it again.

0.33l bottle from Belgium. Pour nice orange/brown colour with a good creamy head. Smell is distinct honey and some alcohol, taste is much the same with sweetness from the honey all the way through until the medium alcohol finish. Honey beers are an odd concept but this is a nicely balanced, natural tasting one, very enjoyable.
