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.

Bottle. Great on a hot day. Pours a sticky hazy amber orange beer with a white head. Aroma/flavor is orange honey, malt, some spices candi sugar and some earthy hop character.

It pours a slightly hazy amber beer with a nicely remaining head. The nose is of honey, orange peel, candy, coconut, tobacco, ginger and coriander accompanied by soy sauce. Sweet taste with honey dominating. More coriander showing up in the flavor than in the nose. Notes of orange peel, candy and ginger. Highly drinkable. Beautiful lacing. Some coconut, cinnamon and tobacco sneaking in. Smooth mouthfeel. Nicely balanced. Sweet spicy, slightly peppery finish with a grassy component. A great beer.

Not my favourite Belgian by a long way but beer and honey is not a good mix for me. This is certainly one of the better ones I’ve had though. Obvious honey but has a nice tone of a posh dessert to it. Smells like a slappers tuppence.
