500ml bottle from Coed Y Dinas. Light, sessionable ale with a nice balanced taste, a touch of dandelion in there with a deliciously soothing and subtle honey aftertaste. Not bad at all, would have again.

Bottle, Sunday 2nd September 2012 7.8% Pours hazy gold/orange with no head. Definate honey nose, in fact it has a lovely aroma. Quite a bit of honey in the mouth, I never got the honey at first but now it really shows. There is some fruitiness, but the honey is all over this. Good but not great. A7 A3 T6 P3 Ov13 3.2

Bottle from Brewer’s Droop, Bristol. Hazy amber in colour, with no head and slight carbonation. Aroma of blossom honey, sweet malts and a hint of herbal greenery. Flavour had honeyed sweetness, spicy yeast and dry finish with herbs lingering around. Ok.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Hazy golden with a dense, rough off-white head. Fresh and fruity nose also with some citrus and LOADS of honey. Medium body, soft mouthfeel, distinct honey accents, a little yeast and fruit. Finishes dry though - in spite of the honey. 200409

bottle from Tuckers Maltings. Cloudy amber-golden colour, enormous white head. Intensive aroma of honey. Light-bodied, lively carbonation, full of malty flavours with some shy hints of honey. Spicy hops especially in the finish.
