Bottle. Clear, a bit pale golden with a small off-white head. Cellar, malt and some hops in both aroma and flavor, and there’s some grass as well in the flavor. Thin to medium body and a fruity finish with mostly apples. Strange brew. (070413)

Bottled. Hazy orange coloured. Weak aroma with notes of honey. Thin and sweet flavour with honey notes. Light bodied. Very bland and light.

6% says the label. Calling a top fermented beer, brewed with honey a pilsener? Ah..well... Honey color, no head. Only a touch of honey in the aroma. Also honey in the grainy flavor. Thin with a touch of yeast. Hardly any carbon. A beer with quality problems.

Golden in colour with a thick creamy off-white head. Light malt overwelmed by ultra-fresh honey. Nice crisp malt with nice german hops at beginning, finishing with lots of sweetness, a bit too much actually. Lighter bodied. May 1,2005 at 2nd KBC Festival, Den Bosch, NL.

A hazy orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of yeast. The flavor is sweet with a very strong presence of heather honey, leading to a dry spicy end. It lacks honey in the aroma.

Bottle, at GBBF, August 2005. Hazy, golden colour. The honey does come through in the aroma here, perhaps because the base beer is not so assertive. Unfortunately, its not very distinguished either. The beer is a bit fizzy, and rather too soft. Pleasant enough, if you like weak honey solution, but not too exciting.

GBBF 20005: Flavour very Dutch, with loads of citrus and yeast. Bready flavour, no honey what so ever is noticable.
