bottled@Fonefan (8.0%). Hazy golden colour, small white creamy head. Aroma is honey, grass and some mild yeast. Flavour is fruits, some honey and mild herbal and flowery notes. Strange, and a bit out of balance.

Bottle, 8%. Distinct honey aroma, some wax, and a citric hint. Cloudy yellow colour. Citric flavour, distinct honey notes, flowers and perfume. Strange but OK.

25 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a lacing white head. Honey to herbal spiced and floral aroma. Floral and yeasty flavour with a dense dry phenolic note. Ends dry and floral. Interest and different.

25cl, from Geers Oostakker, complex honey ale, not balanced, cloudy, good head, nice brew

Bottled. Hazy golden with a small, white head. Sweet and lsightly spicy aroma. Honey in the flavour.

I really don’t like this beer. Hazy gold with a scummy white head. Aroma has sulphur and a mixture of aniseed and toothpaste. Taste is oddly minty with some cinnamon. There used to be a brand of chewing gum a bit like this. Then there’s a rather grim wet dog bitter finish. The various flavours and aromas work against each other rather than together and the result is an unlovely and random chaos.

Bottle 25 cl. Last thuersday. (Bought @ Geers) Hazy blond color; good creamy head, persistent. Aroma sweet and bit herbal. Medium body. Taste = an excellent Triple, round mouthfeel, light sweetness, complemented by a bitter taste touch; very light herbs and sour wood. Spicy character.

Bottle at Cambrinus, Bruges: Honey Ales one of mine favorite styles in the world of beers, this one to.
