Hazy blond color. Light aroma, honey and plastic, soapy. Dry mouthfeel, weak, very light flavor. Short and empty final. Useless.

bottle thanks to Alex. Hazy and pale golden with almost no head. Quite soapy with further notes of honey, spices and bies.

Bottled. Hazy yellow coloured. Nasty soap, oranges, honey and yeast aroma. Same notes in the flavour. Thin. Disgusting. Undrinkable.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with no head. The aroma is sweet malty with quite strong notes of honey in a metallic way, but also giving it flowery notes. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of honey as well as notes of metal, leading to a dry metallic and bitter finish. The body is thin. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Yellow/orange beer with small white head. Floral and sweet notes lead to, sure enough, honey. Somewhat thin bodied but enjoyable.

[bottle from Villard de Lans] Clover honey aroma with nice spicy melanodins in counterpoint. A bit bready and with a hint of noble hops and perhaps a little corriander also in the nose. Hazy dark mandarin orange with only some white dots and a white ring. The flavour is of a nice pale ale with toffee/caramel and plenty of floral hops mixed with fresh clover honey. Notes of rosewater and orange The honey flavour works very well in this beer, however it is just a touch too sweet, in my opinion--the bitterness doesn’t quite balance it. Medium body, moderate carbonation, sweet finish.
