Cear orange with a fine sized head. Very sweet, fruity, estery aroma. The honey flavour is restrained at first, builds towards the finish, like the aroma the flavour is otherwise fruity and estery. Soft texture but overly carbonated. An ok beer, quite flavousome but feels unbalanced.

Jul 20, 2008 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.

Jul 20, 2008 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.

Jul 17, 2008 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.
