bottle, courtesy of jaghana. Clear golden colour, large white hea,d aroma of honey. Malty base with some honey flavours with an artificial touch. Not as good as some Polish honey beers I’ve tasted, but not too bad, either.

25cl bottle @ 8ème Fête de la Bière Namuroise. Tradition des moines? je suppose que c’est là l’œuvre d’un travail monastique venant des archives d’InBev? Bref, la bière est apparemment en test sur le marché français avant, si succès il y a, d’arriver sur le marché belge. Dorée, col blanc moyen. Arôme, et oui, pas de surprise, c’ets bien de la Leffe avec un sauvetage venant du rajout de miel (ou d’extrait de miel) pour adoucir le tout. Palais garde cette approche de Leffe qui s’en retrouve donc adoucie. On y détecte une levure typique, avec ce côté malté carapils et qcq épices. Bref, reste sympa à boire, 25cl étant plus qu’assez. Reste juste à attendre la prochaine version de Leffe, une Royale Nectar?

Bottled 250ml. -Yellow/golden coloured, small to medium sized white head, honeyish herbal nose. Sweet malty and pretty artificial honey taste with heavy sweetness in the finish. Good it’s only 250ml.

Bottle @ home thanks to my uncle. Clear yellow-orange-golden color, full sized long lasting thick white head. Smell and taste malts, sweetness, lots and lots of honey. Very soft velvety mouthfeel, low to medium carbonation. Too sweet for my liking but otherwise nice.

75cl bottle courtesy of Denk, shared Thin white head. Honey aroma. Clear golden pour. Honey aftertaste. quite nice.

Bottle 25cl, a golden beer with medium head. Nose is on honey, aroma is malty, lot of honey notes, yeast lake and biscuit notes, dry grapes touch. Quite sweet, honey notes are more on honey sweets (artificial) than usual honey. Not bad but not great.

Bottle @ tasting. Aroma is actual honey, smells pretty good. Flavour has some actual honey as well. Not too bad.

Bottle shared at tasting. Pours clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma of honey, Belgian yeast, malt, caramel and biscuit notes. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle at ZBF’12, Leuven: Copper coloured brew with an great but slightly overwhelming honey smell and taste. AB Inbev abbeybrew especially for the France market, but debute on this beerfestival.

Golden and totally clear. Good honey aroma. Taste isn’t as good, starts apple-y but with an aspartame aftertaste that really annoys me. Sticky end. Started out well, very disappointing end. (At Dean’s Birthday Tasting)
