Hazy medium golden colour, tall creamy white head, fairly lasting, light lacing. Aroma banana, honey, caramel, butter. Taste light heavy sweet and light bitter, malty, honey, caramel candy, banana, flowery hops, alcohol notes. Somewhat harsh notes in the aftertaste, medium body, creamy texture, nice classic blond.

The second beer by the man who created Rangsken, an ordinary Belgian tripel; this one is a honey beer with a name playing on the old Chuck Berry song. At Bierproeverij Nieuw-Namen. Thick, cobweb-lacing, snow white, frothy head over a lightly hazy yellow golden beer with very slight greenish tinge. Aroma unfortunately – and like Rangsken itself – suffers from a lot of DMS (overcooked broccoli), disturbing more elegant notes of green banana, indeed honey, grass, raw potato, white bread, butter, powder sugar, freshly cut apple, bubblegum, unripe pear and lemon candy. Sweet, cleanly fruity onset, red apple and green banana impressions, hint of chewing gum esteriness, medium carb, slick and somewhat creamy mouthfeel. White bready maltiness supports indeed a noticeable honey sweetness as well as a touch of lemon candy; hop bitterness remains soft and grassy, honey sweetness lingers without becoming tiring or cloying and a slight gin-like alcohol warmth shows up at the back, but perfectly in place. Simple, straightforward Belgian style blonde honey ale, sweet but not overly so and in that sense not badly done, just a shame for the DMS which this brewer can’t seem to get rid of…
