Barbar Belgian Honey Ale

bottle, golden colour and stable white head. Nice fruity aroma. Taste: honey, sweet, butterish, coriander, orange. Some special beer! I like it.

Found this in a crowd of recent US microbrewery’s who seem to have consumed nearly available shelf space at the local shops. Kind of, em, overkill guys. Anyhow, poured into a tulip style glass. Cloudy, icy, and a nice honey hue. Nose is very floral, very yeasty, and somewhat alcoholic. Nice bouquet and sweet nectar. Taste is honey and yeast with a alcoholic bite. Some vintage type flavours and bread. Citric after tones but everything seems to fade away prematurely.

Clear golden color with quite weak, fizzy head. Moderate sipcey, honeyish aromas. Cloves, coriander with moldy cheese flavors. Quite smooth bodied indeed. More balanced, easier in the alcohol level than the bock one.

It’s okay. Medium gold pour. Fruit, sweet malt honey, sugar, bread, citrus, and a small amount of floral hops.

12oz bottle. Pours a dark golden color with a small fluffy white head. Aroma is very sweet, lots of honey, sweet breadiness and malt with just a bit of spiciness. I know what they are going for but it seemed overly sweet, not balanced enough. Flavor is much of the same, a huge amount of sweet, partially balanced by some spices. It is slightly better than the aroma, as the alcohol gives a bit of a bite along with some fruitiness in the finish. Medium body and a bubbly active carbonation. Again, just not much balance, somewhat refreshing and easy drinking for the high alcohol but you gotta expect more from a Belgian strong ale

Flaske: Flot orange øl med et kæmpe skumhoved. Duft af honing i øl nærmest, hvilket er en so-so. Smagen og mundfylden er udmærket, men igen ikke fantastisk. Gror lidt på en efterhånden som procenterne ryger ind.

Yellowish pour. Sweet chalky smell. Light bit of honey. Very sweet taste. Not necessarily a honey flavor but floral and soft hops. Very flavorful.

Really a strong honey aroma and flavor, with balancing citrus (from spice, not hops, I think). Creamy head combined with effervescence makes a wonderful unusual fizz. Nicely sweet (but not too sweet) and strong. Very delicious. The girlfriend thought it tasted like honey flavored sprite. Would be a higher rating, but I think this one is so specific that I will only want one every now and again.
