Commercial Description:
A honey beer that never lets you forget the fact. Although there is only a slight trace of it in the nose the intensity of the honey in the palate may be a bit much for some people. This is an accomplished beer that oozes quality yet retains a small brewery taste. Also sold as Berenbier in Flanders.

Pours a pale gold with a small amount of foam & lacing. Aroma is quite virulent; honey-lager and alcohol. Nice sweet honey-imbued taste perfectly suited to the Belgian style, lightly floral but spicy and malty too. Definitely a sweet beer, but with enough character to balance it nicely. Body unremarkable, carbonation very fine. I enjoyed drinking this from the first sip to the last.

330ml bottle (One Pint, Helsinki, Belgian Beer Week 2008)
Hazy marmalade, lively tight milky head. Grainy and grassy hayey aroma - soft and smooth. Fairly lively but not harsh in the mouth. Perfumy blonde taste - light malt and subtle hops. The honey’s not too obvious, but it is fairly sweet, a little cornflakey. Covers the 8.4% very well. Mellow but still full-bodied.

Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding.
[vintage ????]
Pours a very pale yellow with a fine, staying creamy white head. Aroma is funky, some honey, a little oxidation. Nice, lively mouthfeel. Flavour is moderately sweet, some yeast and light tarty fruitiness. A little bit of oxidation in the flavour as well, but not much. The honey is well-placed, and not very sweet. No alcochol present at all!

Bottled. Hazy yellowish orange colour with mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruits, flowers, wood and some mild sweetness. I can’t say I find any honey in the aroma. Some mild herbs/spices. Flavour is quite sweet malts along with some mild notes of honey and fruits. Also some mild earthyness in it. Aftertaste is fruity, nectary and some slight earthyness. Wellbalanced brew, which hides the alcohol well.

Bottiglia da 33cl al Cantinone a Sampierdarena; versa color giallo chiaro molto torbida con discreta schiuma candida. Aroma dolcissimo e lievemente metallico, comunque un poco aggressivo... Il sapore invece è stupendo. Sa di mare d’inverno mi ricorda le piastrelle dei bagni di Rimini. Mi fa pensare a tantissime cose...Cazzo, sottovalutata, altro che
