Aroma is sweetish malts, mild nuttiness and a hint of honey. The flavor is similar to the aroma. Not bad as a whole but almost too much sweetness, bordering on cloying.

Une saveur miel bien trop prononcée. Cela masque tout le reste. Sans intérêt.

Light haze on this gold - amber beer. Little white head. Light crispy dry palate. Lagerish malt with an odd perfumey thing going on. Caraway nuttyness. Dry finish with a whisper of hops. All right if a little left field.

330ml bottle thanks to Finn for sharing. Clear copper coloured body. Bubbly white head leaving dotted spots to the glassware. Restrained aroma of earthy, mid-sweet malts. Prominent taste of honey sweetness. Not overly sweet to the ending. Soft and nice (at Finns in Tromsø, 02.01.2013).

Flaske 0,33l fra Brune Rousse Houblon, Nice. Brygg 81. Delt med Rune under rateseanse i H9 2 Jan 13. Gylden. Kritthvitt tett skum med litt lacing. God fyldig fruktaroma. Litt metallisk. Smaken er litt honning & blomster - men det blir mer og mer honning. God - men litt ensformig.

33cl bottle at Appellation Wines. Pours golden hazy with a nice white head. Nose has obvious white honey and some baked sweetness . The taste is also lots of honey and also yeast, but somehow it works with the malts. Medium bodied and very drinkable with a nice long finish. A nice variation and shows the quality of good beer making compared to other honey beers.

33cl bottle. Pours golden, slightly hazy with a nicely proportioned head. The nose has set honey and some cornflakes going on in the background - it’s quite single dimensional but it has great depth. The taste is again one-dimensional with the honey but again it has more depth. The palate is medium bodied and textured with a reasonably clean finish, Overall, decent.

A golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet malt with chalky notes, honey. In mouth, a sweet musty malt with woody honey notes, clover field, a bit oxidized. Bottle at Mondial 2012, June 9 2012.

Pours amber with almost no foam. Bubbles are quite strong, you can fill it in mouth that is not velvety. Aromas are very nice: honey and malt. Palate is a bit sparkling and lacks of smoothiness. Too light in aftertaste.

330 ml bottle. Pours a goldent yellow with full head. Aroma of honey, nut and yeast. Sweet, light, and metallic. Little body. Maybe a good summer evening beer if cold.
