When the beer ripens, the taste of honey strengthens and brings a roundness without residual sugar thanks to the refermentation in bottle. The most valorous readily make it a party beer especially served on tap.

Typical Belgian honey beer, a hazy deep blonde beer with medium, off-white head and honey clearly incompletely fermented, leaving a sweet residue in aroma and taste, embedded in a yeasty, fruity, malty environment; soft herbal hop bitterness in the finish, with some lingering, but not cloying sweetness. Not the most complex Wallonian honey beer I’ve had but certainly representative for the style.

Flaske fra kiosken rundt hjørnet, på hotellrommet i Brussel: kortvarig skum og diskret aroma. Snev av mandarin og honning i smaken. Frisk og farlig lettdrikkelig med sine 8,5 volt.

33cl bouteille, bb 14-05-2014. Dorée, col blanc. Arôme restitue bien ce bouquet mielleux donnant ici ce profil biologique, le tout suivi par un léger houblonné fleuri. Palais est malté, fruité laissant une fine pellicule douce provenant du miel apportant une dimension intéressante à la bière. En effet, sans le miel, cette bière reste bien dans un style belge ne présentant guère d’intérêt. Amertume reste en balance sur une effervescence moyenne. Malt léger accompagnant une fin de bouche axée sur le mielleux doux et une brève amertume.

Bouteille 330ml, courtoisie d’un contact de Victoria, BC. De couleur dorée-orange et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (agrumes, notes de melon), de miel avec des notes de caramel doux, léger de pain et de houblon floral avec des notes épicées (léger clou de girofle, notes de poivre) et d’alcool très doux. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et aux notes croustillantes ainsi qu’une texture légèrement crémeuse. Goût de levures fruitées aux faibles notes terreuses (orange et pelures, notes de poires vertes, traces de melon et de cantaloup) avec un léger goût épicé (notes poivrées et de clou de girofle) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un moyen goût de miel avec des notes de biscuit au beurre, de sucre bonbon et de pain mouillé puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux un peu sec (notes gazonnées) avec un léger goût d’alcool doux. Post-goût moyen et un peu sec, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux et de levures fruitées (zeste d’agrumes) avec des notes d’alcool.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark yellow/amber with medium persistent head. Aroma of cereal and honey. Very sweet. Honey and a bit of malt and a hint of ginger. Not my cup of tea.

33cl bottle @ home shared with Thompson. Hazy yellow color, average sized, quickly vanishing, slightly lacing white to off-white head. Smell malts, some fruits and a slight hint of sour. Taste malts, slight fruitpeel-bitterness, again a hint of sourness. A bit fizzy carbo, low to medium body.

Dumpy 33cl brown bottle, best before19 Nov 2011: poured slowly into a Leffe badged chalice on 22 May 2011. No sediment left the bottle, so the beer was a pale amber colour, almost clear, but not quiet. A wispy white covering with a thicker collar appeared as I poured, the collar stayed, the rest left fairly swiftly. Not a lot of smell coming from the beer, some summer fruits and floral notes, but not a lot of anything. I couldn’t find any honey in the aroma, but it does have strong hints of honey in the flavours once you start to drink the beer. This is in a style that has some hit hitters (Duvel and La Chouffe, etc, etc.), so how does it stand up against such brews? The taste is honey sweet and very floral in it’s mouthfeel, less spicey than La Chouffe and not as effervescent as a Duvel. I think the honey does the beer no favours at all, in fact it sweetens it too much in my eyes.
