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.

A bit unusual and ok golden ale. Clear orange golden color with an ok white head. Medium body and an average carbonation. Fruity, malty, some honey and herbal. Tad sweet and a moderate bitterness.
[Bottle from a local grocery store in Troon, Scotland]

500ml bottle - Golden amber with a soft white head. Faint aroma of honey, refreshing on the palate with a balance of sweetness from the honey and bitterness from the hops. Not as honeyed as some I’ve had, especially as the honey is the main selling point on this.

500ml bottle from a supermarket. Pours clear gold, no real head. Light honey aromas. Light sweet taste. Bit fizzy. Ok.

Cask at the Castle, Bedford. Very light gold with a smattering of white head. Smells of honey, metal, PVC. Tastes somewhat sweet and very uninteresting. Weak palette. You know what? I don’t need this shit. Mediocre fucking beer. I’m going through some serious shit in my life, an awful breakup, I’m depressed as a fuck lacquered in fuck sauce, all I need is a half-decent beer. And I’m drinking mediocre beer. That’s a big fuck you from the brewer to me. Charles Wells or Wells and Young’s or whatever the fuck, sort your shit out.

Bottle from Tesco. Ok but a bit to much sweetness on the aroma and taste for me.

Cask at the King’s Arms in Oxford. From old notes. A well-rated beer in a very famous pub, but it was quite horrible. Light brown, very bland. Not much in the way or either malt or hops, but a bit of honey. Extremely uninteresting. Probably in poor condition.

Bottle @ the Bedford Arms, Bedford. A slightly hazy and heavily carbonated mid gold. Aroma of honey, silverware and PVC. Taste is a bland bittersweet mess. The bubbles are nice, I can pretend I’m a fish. Inoffensive but pointless ’honey ale’. Some beers have thrived under the Wells & Youngs merger. Some have not. This has not.

Ins Glas ergießt sich ein goldenes Bier mit ordentlicher Schaumkrone. Geruch fruchtig malzig, Honig, hopfig. Geschmack hopfig malzig, fruchtig, Honigaromen.
