Anyone know where I can source one of these beers? Back in 2013 I visited the brewery hoping to find one only to find it had closed down... I have been searching for it ever since. Any help much appreciated!

Golden color. Honey aroma and flavor with a touch of mandarin. A bit alcoholic, but well balanced, not even a bit of sweetness, so very well attenuated. Very light bitter aftertaste.

Thnx to Fred ! Pours clear blonde, small white head. Smell is Honey ( like mead ) , bit bitter, soome Madeira. Taste is bit metallic, slightly Dusty Madeira, some very Nice maltyness. Some Honey as well. Nicely carbonated still, i guess this was overcarbonated when fresh , but now its perfect. A bit sweet of courde. Very impressive !

Quite hazy (like very fine yeast in suspension), very pale yellow (as pineapple juice) beer; huge, light-yellow head, creamy in consistency, quite stable and leaving some lace. Spring flowers nose, honey, spicey - couldn’t be more Walloon farmyard nose. Bit of citrus as well. Surprisingly bitter taste, more spicey bitterness than hoppy, even a tad harsh. Again flowery-spicey. Honey might leave some flavour, but absolutely no sweetness. Finish betrays slight acidity. Not really light bodied. This beer seems extremely well-attenuated, but the malts/honey left some imprint! A surprising, and interesting brew. I’ve seldom had such a well attenuated honeybeer. I fear, however, that the used hops are very British-Belgian, meaning not very noble. if they could better this, it would become really great. BTW, if all commercial descriptions would be that accurate!
