La Binchoise Biere des Ours

Brewed by Brasserie La Binchoise
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Binche, Belgium

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Cloudy orange/yellow colour with nice white head. Aroma is orange, honey, yeasty, bubblegum and coriander. Taste doesn’t disappoint, with the same elements; nice dry finish, and the alcohol is well hid. Moderate carbonation; crisp and drinkable. Very nice.

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

cloudy orange colour, honey and orange aroma, spicy honey flavor

It’s full, sweet and fruity.

Very special, I love that mild honey taste .

Poured into an Aventinus glass(the only clean classy glass available), it looks beautiful, a glowing orange color, significantly hazed, lighter at the bottom, capped with a lean layer of white foam. Aroma has all the usual hallmarks of a saison or a biere de garde, yeasty, sour, a bit of funk, plentiful fruit, but this one is topped by pleasing, mellowing honey tones. Nice, again. That honey flavor is much more pronounced in the taste, heck, it’s fairly tangible, slick and supple on the palate, and only growing bigger. Medium bodied, with honey and lemon on the ever-so pleasant finish. Perhaps the most honeyish of any honey beers I’ve tried, beating the previous champ, Dupont’s Biere du Miel. I like it.

Very livey beer with faint cloudy rim and with an outstanding big white head. The aroma is dry and has hints of fresh fruit and flowers. It also has hints in the nose of green prunes and wet birch-wood. The taste is sweeter that expected, it has a full boddied caracter with a smooth malty mouthfeel. In the taste there is a very nice honeyed aspect with a nice touch of sweet cookies and butter caramels. In the aftertaste you can notice some touche of flower pollen, butter-cakes and a well integrated slaight bitterness. Original beer with a good balance and a great refreshing carbonation in the end. At the Kulminator in Antwerp.

Bottle conditioned. Hazy gold, good thick fluffy white head and good condition. Low sweet aromas of malt and flowery honey. Fine tingle of bubbles on the tongue, honey sweet in the mouth with a spicy corriander note. Sweet and chalky finish with some rough edges and a lingering chilli spiced burn at the end.
