Commercial Description:
Belgian-style Honey Ale
Brewed with imported Continental malt, honey from local bee-geniuses Reseska Apiaries in Holliston, Ma., and fermented with an unusual Belgian yeast strain, then conditioned for several weeks before its release. It professes a complex nose and palate hinting at wildflowers, spices, and herbs, with honey and malt flavors commingling with the yeast’s phenolic spicy character and finishing with a peppery dryness and a distinct note of fresh honey. One half of this beer has been laid down in French oak chardonnay barrels atop fresh organic sour cherries, where it will referment with wild yeasts and age until it reveals to the brewers its desire to be served. Patience…

Tap at ACBF. Just a basic, sweet Belgian for me, apparently a saison. Vague honey notes, some yeast, wheat...sweet and pretty dull.

Aroma is of honey and sweetness. Flavor is sweet but not honey, more caramel or even some butter scotch. Not sure what to make of this beer.

Draft at ACBF09. Pours a light orange with a small head. Aroma of honey and yeast. Flavor of sweet Belgian yeast, and melon. Not too much honey really (thankfully) and somewhat of a surprise. Decent beer. 7/4/7/4/14 (3.6/5)

Tap at the ACBF 2009: This brewer is hit or miss. Light golden pour with a white film of head. Sweet doughy aroma with honeyish character all around. Fluffy body but very sweet flavor. Biscuity Belgian pale malt base that’s bombarded with residual sugars and honey flavors all over. Eh- typically overly sweet American Saison.

Draft @ BCTC. Pours orange with a small white head. Nose of mild honey, malt, some yeast. Flavor has more honey, yeast, a bit of spices.

(Draught) Pours a clear amber body with a moderate creamy off-white head. Aroma of honey, florals, light citrus, and caramel. Flavor of honey, some citrus, and herbs.

Had this one on draught at the brewpub in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Clear, medium red pour, very little head, plum and malt in the nose, strong and sweet flavor with allspice, clover honey, cherry and bourbon. Strong finish. Another very good brew.

On tap at CBC. The description was what attracted me to this beer. It was served in a tulip with no head by the time it got to my table. It was almost still. Jewel like amber color, but really needed more bubbles. Sweet dark sugar nose. The dominant flavor is floral honey with some spice and green grass. Clark says it better. Interesting, but not something I’d order again.
