Commercial Description:
Hommel is the local abbreviation of humulus, from the botanical name for the hop plant. Confusingly, it also means bumble bee in Flemish. Poperings Hommelbier is a hoppy, golden-bronze, ale. It is made from a blend of winter, summer and aromatic pale malts.

On tap at Café Belgique, Amsterdam.
Golden coloured, medium sized white head, dusty fruity nose. The taste is very malty, fruity, slight hoppy and metallic with notes of honey and spices. Rather bitter finish with strong metallic aftertaste.

Bottle at Boshuis Venkraai. A little hazy, golden colored beer, with a thick white foamed head. The aroma is fruity, but most of al hop bitterness. The taste is hop bitter wit some candy sweetness. In the back some fruits like citrus. It has a dry bitter aftertaste. A good summer beer.

Bottle at De Geuzen. Golden colour, big white head. Aroma of hops, sweet fruity malts. Flavour is metallic, hoppy and malty sweet, a bit fruity and dry. Nice bitterness, too bad of the metallic flavours.
