In the area of Poperinge, which is a little town in the west of Belgium, harvesting hops is a main industry and art. In the local dialect hommel means hop and therefore we have used the dialect to give our product a name: Poperings hommelbier. In order to brew this beer, we use a blend of 3 types of hops. In addition, the presence of hops in the beer are strong, enhancing its flavour and refreshing, slightly bitter taste. Hommelbier is a beer with secondary fermentation in the bottle. Therefore, a layer of ferment is still present at the bottom of the bottle. This beer has a unique distinction of being a completely natural beer.

[2] Review by Clash from Chattanooga, TN, USA who has tried this beer once. (8/24/2008 11:02:39 PM)
"This poured a dark golden color with a rather large head. The aroma is spicy and also contains some lemons, apricots, and floral notes as well. The flavor is somewhat sweet with a bit of alcohol noticeable. The flavor contains some lemons, honey, and spices present. The finish is slightly bitter and the mouthfeel is quite carbonated. Overall a well balanced nice beer."

[3] Review by Singlemalter from Greenfield, WI, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/8/2007 10:42:16 PM)
"(best before Nov07) Poured into a snifter similar to that depicted in the photo here. Apricot nectar in color, with a thin white cap, without lacing. Fragrance of yeast and nuts, with a slight hop note. Medium bodied mouthfeel, with tingly carbonation and a warm, unobtrusive alcohol presence. Flavor notes of some mild pine and citrus, and less hopped than I'd expected, but probably considerable for its type. I like it, and it's a nice wrap-up to my "Belgian and Belgian-like" tasting weekend. "

[5] Review by yog from Harwich, United Kingdom who has tried this beer many times. (1/25/2007 6:02:14 PM)
"Possibly my favourite Belgian beer. I ALWAYS buy a case whenever i go to Belgium - Why wouldn't you at $20 per 24. Slight amber/orange colour with loose white head. Fruit and hop aroma. Grass/spice/orange taste with lingering hops. Finish is long and lingering. Time for just one more................"
