COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottled conditioned. Keg: Filtered.
In 1996, the brewery innovates and launches Barbãr, a lager with honey.
Born of the ancestral know-how of a family brewery, Barbar beer will please you with its malt taste and subtle flavour of honey. It is brewed using water drawn from artesian wells on the site of the brewery, at Quenast, a small village to the south of Brussels. This area is well-known for the quality and the diversity of its beers.
Barbar beer is prepared from a secret and harmonious mixture of barley malts, hops and honey carefully selected by our Master Brewer. The traditional brewing method, associated with our unique strain of yeast, and the secondary fermentation in the bottle, gives Barbar the authentic flavour of a very special ale.

Silvan7 (119) - Samarate, ITALY - APR 16, 2013
Bottle @ delirium. Il profumo di questa birra è molto meglio di tutto il resto. Le note di miele sono molto intense, il grado alcolico fa da sottofondo, ma il connubio è grandioso. Un po’ meno bella e buona. Il colore è giallo ambra, con schiuma bianca, ampia e vaporosa, di durata scarsa. La carbonatazione è media. Il gusto è di miele, lieviti e un po’ di uvetta. La luppolatura è buona, non marcata, dal gusto fluoreale. Manca dell’alcol a renderla più sprintosa.

Dark golden blond colour. Sweet aroma, a bit fruity and some honey too. Flavour has overall sweetness which matches well with the slighty thick, sticky texture.

MrW (221) - Londerzeel, BELGIUM - APR 9, 2013
33cl bottle Certain sweetness in the aroma, not sure if honey or something else, a bit acid, orangzest. Something herbal in it. Helder blond, little white lacing head. Sweet taste, not that rich, orangelemonade. Get’s even sweeter in the end. Sweetness lasts, sticky mouthfeel.

Bozo_skeleton (137) - Grenoble, FRANCE - APR 4, 2013
Généralement je ne suis pas un adepte des bière aromatisées. Mais la je reviens sur mes préjugés. Cette belle blonde couleur paille dégage de fort arômes de miel (normal) et de résineux. Mais elle est surtout superbement équilibrée. Très ronde c’est un vrai plaisir que de déguster, gorgée après gorgée, cette bière.

Bright golden yellow beer. Smell of fresh hops. Taste a little bit flat and slightly bitter aftertaste. Not as sweet as I had expected.

Sweet tasting beer which comes from the honey presumably. Nice.

Pours dark blond. Sweet, honey aroma and taste. A little too sweet and lack of bitterness to my liking.
