Commercial Description:
Hommel is the local abbreviation of humulus, from the botanical name for the hop plant. Confusingly, it also means bumble bee in Flemish. Poperings Hommelbier is a hoppy, golden-bronze, ale. It is made from a blend of winter, summer and aromatic pale malts.

In the bottle at the 2009 Crescent Moon Extreme Beerfest. Pours a very cloudy dark gold with a thick white head. The dominant flavor that I get from this is yeast...it’s just a yeast bomb. I sort of don’t get the point of this at an extreme beer festival. It gets lost. I’ll have to revisit it.

Bottle. Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is malt, yeast, light fruits, and some floral hops. Flavor is enjoyable with pale malts, yeast, honey, light fruits, spice, and some hop bitterness on the finish. Drinkable.

Pours gold wit a white head. Smells of light spice, fruity, floral. Tastes sweet and dry with some enjoyable floral and hay notes on the finish. Very saison like.

From 750mL bottle. Pours to a straw amber color with full sized head. Nothing too out of the ordinary. Lots of yeast on the nose. Very grassy with some undetones of citrus. A bit of honey’s up in there also. It’s a bit thin and grassy on the the palate. Some tropical flavors and banana present as well,but not with the texture that’d I’d originally suspected, which is where this beer really loses out. I like this beer but I can’t love it. Certainly a solid Belgian strong ale, but not a stand-out.

On tap. Pours a hazy golden color with a nice white head. Light grassy aroma, a hint of yeast. Light bitterness, a hint of cloves, a fruity sweetness. Bitter finish; easy drinking Belgian ale.

Moderate yeast aroma. Cloudy light orange color with a large white head. Creamy sweet and bitter beginning with both fading equally in the finish.
