COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Unusual name, unusual beer! The “Waggle Dance” is the movement a bee performs to alert the hive to a source of nectar. The Waggle Dance beer is a beautifully balanced, sneakily seductive, golden coloured beer. it is popular both as a cask ale (Alc. 4.0% Vol.) and in 500ml bottle (Alc. 5.0% Vol.) across a wide range of beer lovers both male and female and of all (legal) drinking ages. A striking pump clip and bottle label designs ensure high awareness to Waggle Dance amongst drinkers in both the On- and Off-Trade “Amber beer with a touch of honey on the nose and palate. The sweetness is balanced by a healthy dose of hops to provide the bitterness that gives a wonderfully delicate flavour.” Pale Ale and Crystal malts and British Fuggle and Golding hops, together with South American honey, combine perfectly to create this delicious golden ale with a superb honey aroma.

tommann (1994) - Dudley, West Midlands, ENGLAND - JUL 12, 2010
500ml bottle. Pours a light golden yellow with a small head. Smells a bit artificial and sweet. Taste is a bit better, sweet and honey to start with a bitter finish. Bit too much carbonation and a little thin on the body.

Pours clear amber with fluffy white head leaving a lacing on the glass. Sweet malty and hoppy aroma. Crisp acidy and a bit sweet flavor. Fresh and sweet on palate. Finishes first sweet turning into a bitter aftertaste.

floydian1 (719) - FNQ Australia, AUSTRALIA - MAR 4, 2010
500ml bottle from First Choice Liqourstore. Pour is clear gold with a medium-sized dense white head providing decent lacing. Aroma is sweet honey malts with traces of lemon citrus and grassy hops. Palate is smooth and easy drinking with a lowish carbonation and flavours similar to the nose. Medium to light bodied. Finishes with a mild dry bitterness. Nicely balanced.

Sdaniel90 (197) - Estado de México, MEXICO - DEC 31, 2009
Bottle, 500ml. Pours a beautiful pure yellow colour with almost no head. Lots of carbonation going on. Aroma is disappointing, almost no hint of honey. The hop notes are great but mask the sweetness it’s intended to have. A poorly balanced beer, barely tasting of honey. Fuller’s Honey Dew is much better.

Fin (6180) - Merton, Oxfordshire, England, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - DEC 11, 2009
Bottle, that I had at Loz’s parents 11-12-09 Pours golden with a white head. A little honey is detected on the nose but more so in the mouth, touch of boiled sweets along with a limp bitterness. It was ok, I was thirsty, nothing special but also nothing to write home about. A5 A3 F6 P3 Ov11 2.8
