Gets boring really fast. Looks like a Belgian, cloudy gold, small white head. Nose had notes of fruit and maybe yeast, b but pretty quickly all I could detect was honey. Moderate and average mouth feel. Taste of honey, followed by strong sweet spices (I got a lot of cinnamon, even though the description is more coriander and orange peel). And then just honey again. Not unpleasant, just boring.

Brandon, Fl. - Kingdom Liquors, 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a pleasant medium golden with a sticky white, persistent head. Sweet aroma of baking bread - heavy on the yeast, with some hints of honey. Flavor is accordingly sweet, with some raw cake mix, honey, and plenty of yeast and a hint of spices in the back end - grains of paradise perhaps. Solid, sticky mouthfeel. Overall, decent.

Pours nicely with a golden body and frothy white head. Aroma is of honey, of course, and indistinct spices. Spicy taste with some light fruit (mostly banana) and a slightly sweet finish. A new favorite.

Bottle. Pours a clear, golden body, with a nice, off-white head. Nice lacings. Very citrusy nose with some spices and butterscotch, but very weak on the latter two. Some warming alcohol in the flavor gets more present in the finish, and there’s also a nice bitterness towards the finish. In addition there’s pale malt, sweetness (from the honey?), spices and a touch of caramel. There’s not much honey to be detected. Full body. Quite easy to drink, but not an all-nighter, there’s too much alcohol evident for that. (080312)

ZBF2008: From tap. Pours clear and yellow with a dense white head. Light herbal/butterish aroma. Flavour is mild sweetend and with a light herbal touch. I don’t really sense honey here but guess it is in the herbal notes and the sweetness. Ends mild spiced and caramel malt lingering.

Bottle, 8%. Perfumy, flowery aroma. Seemingly clear amber colour. Small white head. The flavour is a little sweet with flower and soap notes which might come from hops. Gets a little plasticky. Slightly rough bitterness.

Bottle. A nice sweet honey aroma. A bit of banana and light candy. A nice beer.
