Barbar Belgian Honey Ale- A great surprise


Barbar Belgian Honey Ale is a great surprise. I wasn't sure what to expect from this beer. The label did have an exotic look. Barbar Honey Ale is made in Belgium and the ABV is 8.00%. The brewery website (http://www.brasserielefebvre.be/) gives some information about how this beer is produced. What I found interesting is that the water used to produce this beer is drawn from springs at the brewery and a unique strain of yeast is used for fermentation. The special yeast is probably part of the reason for the spicy, exotic taste. The color of this beer when poured is yellowish with a nice white head. Breathing deeply, the aroma of this beer is that of alcohol and banana. What it reminds me the most of is banana bread. The taste of the beer is a sweet, banana, honey flavor, covering up the alcohol well. The flavor also includes citrus and spice. This is a very well blended beer. All the flavors come together very nicely. Carbonation for this ale is medium. It is a real easy drinker. Would I buy this beer again? Oh yeah. I would recommend it to friends. The cost for a single bottle was $3.49. I grade this beer an A. Make sure to give this beer a try.
