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

La Popperings Hommelbier est une ode au houblon cultivé en Belgique. D’un titrage alcoolique de 7,5 % Abv, l’Hommelbier possède 4 types de houblon dont le Brewer’s Gold et l’Hallertau. De couleur ambrée, trouble, la bière présente une forte effervescence et une fine mousse. Le nez est sur le malt, la levure et présente des flaveurs très agréables d’épices et d’herbe fraîche. La première attaque, très agréable; est soyeuse sur les notes de caramel, de biscuits et d’orge. En deuxième attaque, arrive l’amertume, sur des arômes de sucre candi et de pin. La belle complexité permet, à chaque nouvelle gorgée, de percevoir des variations subtiles sur cette base. L’amertume s’ouvre ensuite progressivement, crescendo, tirant vers des arômes d’agrumes avec un alcool très bien contrôlé. La finale est alors brillante avec une amertume tout en contrôle, arrondie par le sucre. Quel beau poème houblonné nous offre ici Van Eecke. La Belgique peut être fière de son terroir.

Best before November 2017.
Pours a clear light gold with loads of foam that settles to aboot a half inch.
Smells of earthy malt with spicy and grassy hops. The sweet side could be also an addition of honey.
Tastes like it smells. Almost. I taste some bready/cracker in addition to the earth and honey. Bitterness does translate to light spicing and grass. Even keeled beer here and pretty drinkable. I like it.

Bottles from Beer Of Europe (2020) and House Of Trembling Madness (2024). Deep golden body with a few flecks beneath an off-white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of underripe pear and straw. Flavour of lime, bitter hops, red apple and salty yeast. Medium body with a smooth texture. Light fizz. Poor condition but it has a tasty, zingy flavour.

Bottle from Seoul Plaza. Quite big beer flavour-wise, lots of things going on. Slightly warming alcohol presence. Big hoppiness, mostly fruity, slightly spicy. Honeyish moderately sweet malty presence. Big beer and not ashamed of it. High carbonation, relatively refreshing. Very good.

250 ml bottle from Tanakaya. Clean fruity ester nose. Floral and herbal notes as well. Sweet on the palate, with some honey and grain. Average carbonation and medium body. FInish is dry with a little peppery hop character. Simple, but well-done little Belgian ale. --- Beer merged from original tick of Poperings Hommelbier on 07 May 2016 at 19:00 - Score: 7. Original review text: Clean, Belgian yeast nose. Some malt and fruity esters. Slightly floral. Sweet at first then dry finish.

Flaska från Saveur Biere. Smak och doft av humle, belgisk jäst, gröna äpplen, gröna bananer, grönpeppar, honung, citrus, bröd, jord, honung, gräs och örter med toner av koriander. Lagom sötma, rund och len, många smaker i fin kombination, torr, viss funkighet och god beska.

750ml bottle. Bier Huis, Ossett. Hazy orange. Thin, lasting, white head. Nose has sweet, lightly spicy malts. Hops come over spicy, too. Big on the Belgian yeast. Taste is upfront sweet. Gets a little spicy. More sweetness on the finish. Ok. A bit one dimensional.
