oro buona schiuma persitente note mielose erbacee fresche un po di speziato in bocca maltata miele ma anche un discreto luppolo piacevole intrigante

75cl bottle from Beer City, lot# 28032012/1, BB 10/20/2013. Orangée léger col beige épais. Arôme est bien mielleux avec ce léger bouquet noisette. Le tout garde ce profile agréable de miel et organique sur un côté fleuri et houblonné léger. Palais épais et mielleux presque huileux du miel en bouche, malt léger sur une pointe de pétillant et léger caramel. Le tout reste doux avec un côté fruité rappelant l’abricot, se termine en laissant un léger filament collant/sucré aux lèvres. Bonne bière qui ne mérite pas les scores imputés mais aussi bière qui à pu évoluer en recette avec le temps.

Blond beer. Strong aroma of pineapple and Italian saucisses. Very fruity taste.

Bottle from GBBF, day 5 on 5 August 2006 (noted at 6.8%). Hazy orange colour. Light honey aroma. Smooth, sweetish but with some sour notes (slight infection?). Quite interesting.

Bottle (courtesy of JorisPPattyn): Deep golden, hazy, small foamy layer; stronger "woody" hoppy nose with some lambic-like flavours(lemons, orange peel, lactic acid) moderate to solid sweet-sourish flavour,soft MF, medium to full bodied; sweet sourish-fruity and hoppy finish. Quite O.K..........

A Mes rate. Bottle at LCRBM #5.
Hazy dark yellow with a good off white head. Cakey malt and some tangerine hops. Sweet and yeasty finish. Slight infection but it’s tolerable.

[Bottled] Hazy golden, rich head. Sweet and fruity with evident notes of honey. Medium bodied with lively, fairly soft mouthfeel.Low bitterness. I’ve never quite got the point with honey ales, but this one is well crafted, even if it is not the most exciting beer ever.
