Barbar Belgian Honey Ale

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

This is essentially a witbier that has had honey tossed in to boost the body and alcohol content. Medium clear gold with a nice creamy head. Aroma was citric orange, notes of wheat, and sweet honey. Flavor was basically a match, with a note of coriander and spice wandering in the background. Enjoyable.

Pale yellow, large head. aroma is amazing, inviting, sweet honey, caramel, citrus and spice. Solid flavor throughout, spicy warmth, honey, a bit creamy. Nice brew.

Bottle bought at the Bishops Arms, V Hamngatan, Göteborg, Sweden. Pours hazy golden in the beautiful frosty glass (wich does not count in the rating). Tropical fruits in the aroma with hints of honey, along with some earthy and yeasty notes. Decent mouthfeel, a bit too sweet.

Awesome brew. Pours a nice orange color with a big fluffy head. Smells of hops and floral. Tastes super sweet and smooth with notes of hone and hops. Really great and balanced beer.

Bottle.

Pours a clear light orange with a modest white head; yeast-driven aroma of honey on fresh-cut green apples. The flavor is somewhat sweet, again that honey, apricots underneath, very fruity with a delicious smoothness that goes down easy even on a thirsty palate. Some nice modest spicyness, floral hops on the late end rounding it out with the right element of dryness to balance te whole thing nice.

I really quite like this beer and will certain add it to the Belgian-beer rotation in my fridge.

Clear orange bronze with a spotty-lacing white head. Fresh, sweet honey and grassy hop aroma has a touch of light fruity esters. Body starts with a mild caramel and honey sweetness along with some earthy grassy spice and a crisp, but thinner, bittersweet finish. Really true to style and enjoyable.

Bottiglia da 33cl in un bar a Castellina Marittima (PI); colore ramato con schiuma scarsa e poco consistente, aroma fruttato e mieloso, sapore speziato (grazie all’aggiunta di miele e coriandolo, evidenti). A me è parsa davvero ottima.

Draught. Hazy light brown colour which is not appealing. Light malty aromas, strong alcohol presence and a cloying sweetness, feels as though you are drinking a candy. very dissapointing.
