Honey beer from a brewing company at the Veluwe moorlands, thanks Craftmember for sharing, also with the brewer of the Dordogne’s Croix du Rat microbrewery. Off-white, medium thick, lacing, opening head on a clear, warm ‘honeyish’ orange blonde beer. Aroma of sweetbread, stewing apples, industrial honey, some orange zest, dried camomile and a vague whiff of DMS. Sweetish onset, bit apple-ish and lightly banana-like, fizzy carb, slick and supple body. Malt sweetish middle, clean and a tad caramelly with indeed a honeyish sweetness on top but subtly so; moderately spicy, floral hop bitterish finish. Very accessible, stereotypical honey beer for the great masses, nothing to dislike here, but not much to get excited about either.
