228/876)  Home:  Blanceh des Honnelles by Brasserie de l'Abbaye des Rocs of Belgium:  **;  brewed with coriander, ginger and orange peel;  a strong (6%) wheat ale with just a hint of spice;  full flavoured with ginger yielding to orange at the finish with a honeyed after taste;

229/877)  Home:  Biere de Miel by Brasserie Dupont of Belgium:  *1/2;  8% abv;  this is a bottle fermented organic beer brewed with honey and indeed there are sweet malty honey notes to the nose;  sweet honey flavours are balanced by a bit of tangy spice and sweet bubble gum flavours;  I'm not entirely sure what to make of this one;

230/878)  Home:  Grapefruit Ale by Whistler Brewing Company of British Columbia:  *1/2;  brewed in Paradise Valley;  a blonde ale brewed with grapefruit zest and coriander;  malty nose with a touch of citrus;  sweet honey citrus flavours with a spiced finish and a citrusy bite in the aftertaste;
