Waggle Dance is a farmhouse ale brewed with a simple malt bill of pilsner & wheat, accented with spelt & rye, and brewed with American wildflower honey. It is hopped with only Styrian Goldings for a mellow bitterness. It has an inviting appearance that glows with the color of pale gold, and appears slightly hazy with a bright white foam. Aroma and tasting notes include citrus, lemon zest, mild honey, spice, clove, white wine and a dry finish. This beer is profoundly drinkable at 6% ABV and will pair well with warm days, high vibes, and the buzz of good company.

This is another one that's been in the back of my fridge for a longggg time before getting around to it. It was on the discount rack for $2 some time early this year
Pours a cloudy yellow gold with 2 fingers of soapy white head that quickly reduces to a cap and leaves decent lacing
The nose carries a lot of the standard Belgian notes, primarily bubblegum, clove, grain, and wheat. However, this has a strong lemon aroma to cut through the light spice. Very light malt sweetness, possibly from the honey
Sadly this is one of those beers where the taste doesn't really match up with the aroma. While it starts off nicely tart with notes of lemon and light leathery funk, it is overtaken after the swallow by overwhelming amounts of clove and overly sweet honey. Not really that good but also not super disappointing
This has a light medium body and mild carbonation, but still finishes too sweet which hurts the drinkability. Drying, but way too sweet
This was by all means a pretty unremarkable beer (except the aroma), just touching on the basics of the style and over doing it with the honey. Oh well, it wasn't awful

Can. Hazy golden orange with ring and island. Lemon pepper bubble gum aroma. Medium-light fruity sweetness with some ginger ale and light ginger ale finish. Light body somewhat fizzy. Okay.
