Hommelbier from Poperinge was brewed for the first time in 1981, for the triennial hop festival in the village. Hommel is local dialect for hops, and was the inspiration for the name of this tribute to Poperinge’s most famous export product. Since then, Poperinge’s Hommelbier has earned quite a reputation for itself with beer fans around the world, for its unique style, brewed with 100% hops from Poperinge.
Deze ‘Golden Ale’ heeft een stevige witte schuimkraag die uitnodigt om de geur van groene hop, gist en lichte fruittoetsen te ontdekken. Na een volle en verfrissende kruidige smaak verandert het pallet naar lichte citrus, sinaasappel en pompelmoes, ondersteund door de hop. De honingzachte afdronk laat een licht kruidige komijnsmaak uitlopen op een volle hopsmaak.
Technische info:
Alcoholvolume: 7,5 vol%
Graden Plato: 16°
Hop: 4 variëteiten
Mout: 2 variëteiten
Gisting: bier van hoge gisting met nagisting op de fles

330 ml bottle purchased at Bottleworks in Seattle, Washington. D 04 10 notched on the bottom of the label. Pour is slight hazed golden orange with a ton of carbonation bubbles building up a one inch white head. Head breaks up with some large bubbles leaving behind some nice lacing. Aroma is straw clove and minty sweetness. Decent amount of herbal behind that - yeasty and gently layered complexity. Taste is very big herbal and cloves up front, followed by a phenolic honey sweetness transitioning to a dry straw through the finish. Interesting flavors, though were not nearly as gentle as the nose. Palate is medium, sweetness cloys a bit - though this is lifted by the higher carbonation and grassy dryness to the finish.

Bottle. Poured gold with a thick lasting white head. Aroma had both malt and hop notes, the hop being more present. There was also a bit of spice underlying in the aroma. Flavor was of citrus hops with a bit of yeast flavor underlying. Didn’t feel right on the tongue.

Not sweet at all but not bitter. Very flavoursome. Dry slightly bitter finish. Well balanced.

Hazy gold beer with a decent white head. Palate is light, airy, semi dry and crisp. Minerals. Light dry malt, very light cream. Good spicy hops. Light herbal note and just a whisper of citrus, but it’s mostly spicy. Crisp hop spicy finish. Refreshing to taste a beer well hopped with noble hops!

slightly cloudy yellow, small white head. aroma has a little hops, but reminds me more of a blonde with the swetness and faint spicyness. hops, honey, flowers and faint spices. flavor is more hoppy than the aroma. sweet sawdusty hoppy, dry but still quite sweet. honey, spices, alc. very well hidden, i’d gues it was a 5%.

Draught at the Pembury Tavern on 27th June 2009. Golden with a white foamy head. Cheesy notes in aroma with yeastiness; hop, malt and spice notes follow and harmonise in the main kick after which there follows a grassy finish. To be supped slowly and savoured.
