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.

Bottle from Asda. Clear copper, small head, minimal retention and no lacing. Its more fizzy than anything. Aroma of malt, caramel and honey. Taste is quite sweet of malt, bread and a long smooth honey note which would work better with a lower and softer carbonation. Despite the honey taste and copper colour its actually quite a light beer. Unremarkable but there is a nice sessionability about it if in the mood for lager type carbonation with a little more flavour than an average lager.

Bottle, 0.5l. Clear golden/copper pour, one finger frothy white head. Medium retention, lots of lacing on the glass. Can't pick up any honey on the nose, a bit weird for something labeled as honey beer. Rather ordinary nose with grainy and grassy notes. Nothing much going on here. Thin body, medium carbonation. Light mouthfeel, watery texture. Quite drinkable. Mild bittersweet taste. Aroma is a bit lacking to be perfectly honest. Very mild in pretty much everything, some caramel, lightly toasted, grassy notes, herbal spicy bitterness. If I really concentrate hard and enter a state of meditation then there's maybe - MAYBE - a hint of honey in the aftertaste. Or maybe I'm just seeing (tasting?) things. Who knows, eh? Anyways, this honey beer turned out to be more of a golden ale and lager combo. Nothing spectacular but actually quite decent as thirst quencher. So, in a way this was decent. Just don't expect to find any honey here.

A kaptárba visszatérő felderítő méh a tánc segítségével tudatja fajtársaival az általa talált táplálékforrás minőségét, irányát és távolságát. Tehát a méhtánc kommunikatív aktus, és mint ilyen, a társas viselkedésformák egyike.

Good appearance and not much aroma. Taste is meh. Maybe some honey? Maybe not. But what is in there does nothing for the flavour.
