Copenhagen 25/8 2016. 50 cl bottle from Meny. Comes in a clear bottle. Striped label with some bees buzzing around.
Pours slightly hazy light amber with a white head. Settles as a thin layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. No lacing to speak of.
Aroma is sweet and you can actually smell some honey chiming in. Not very strong but it’s there. A little caramel and waffles as well.
Soft carbonation and slightly thick palate. Almost flat texture.
Flavor is sweet toffee followed by light bitterness. Sweet aftertaste - not particularly long.
Pretty sweet - as could be expected from a honey beer - and quite English. Not bad - but not something I’m very much into.

Cask conditioned at The Pickerel, Cambridge. Deep golden colour. Very nice honey and flowery aroma. Flavour is moderately honey sweet, minimal bitterness. Some malts too. A bit thin mouthfeel, though. Not my favourite this one.

Pours a clear, amber coloration with a medium, frothy head. Smells of biscuity, grainy malt, herbal hops and honey. Taste is a good balance of biscuity, grainy malt, herbal, slightly floral hops and wildflower honey. Finishes with a light bitterness and some herbal hops and honey lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth aftertaste with a medium body and carbonation.
A pretty nice Pale Ale with a good balance of biscuity, grainy malt and herbal, floral hops, as well as a good wildflower honey note that never becomes too overbearing though. While this may be a little too sweet for my personal taste, it's really not that bad, making a pleasant, easy-drinking brew that's not too flavorful, but makes good use of the honey.

L- Very dark amber, clear, pours with 1Cm fine off-white head (which holds well).
S- From the moment I popped the bottle it was like a Jamaican rasta had walked into the room - pungent! That dissipates and up close I get honey and some grains.
T- Quite hoppy-dry, then honey comes along in the finish.
M- About as might be expected for a 5% heft-wise. The notable hops make it refreshing.
O- The honey seemed prominent at first, but seems to totally blend into the mix after a few mouth-fuls. So initially I thought I'd write a caution that 'perhaps it helps if you'd enjoy a quite prominent honey-note', I'm now not sure it matters much. Lable notes minimal, perhaps as they're in a total of 7 languages. Slightly different, zero out of place, I rather like it.
500ml £2.59 from Premiere Wine nr. Paddington station in London, the only place I've ever seen it stocked. BB: 31/12/19

From Hipercor. In Ikea's pint glass. Playing Tomb Raider 2015. No trace of the honey. Neutral on aroma but very drinkable and with a plesant but not memorable taste

Flat, dry finish on subdued taste. Nice aroma, and looks great, but not much else. Slightly sweetand some hop bitterness, but there’s better to be had....

Served cool from 500ml clear bottle into pint mug.
L) Light copper colour, clear, a few bubbles rising up, thin bubbly head.
S) Light English hops odour, definite whiff of honey cosmetics in the background.
T) A light Englsih blonde ale flavour, pleasant bit of hop bitterness and a nicely rounded honey flavour at the back, quite subtle.
F) Nice light body and carbonation. Easy drinker, no bitter aftertaste.
O) Nice easy drinking ale and the honey taste gives it a different aspect. Recommended.
