Finally open: Honingklip

I am privileged to have tasted the first brew from Annalize and Mark ter Morshuizen.  It was years ago at the SouthYeaster's Ale'oween.  Even then they showed promise as it was made from an old kit with an interesting fermentation regime, the details of which are not important here.  What is important is that through the years of trying to get a brewing license I’ve sampled many of their homebrewed beers and was always impressed.  So when The Runner passed the brewery a few weeks back she behaved as you all should.  She turned in and bought me 6 beers.  You, being even more generous, can buy more. 

So far tasted are the Blonde and IPA with Honingklip’s descriptions below.  For me the Blonde echoes a Belgium golden ale, but with lower alcohol and the IPA is a “proper” IPA.  Not hopped to the hilt as some American IPA’s.  More classically styled.  Waiting in the fridge is a Chilli-Ginger Ale, which will make for some interesting drinking.  Unfortunately no Wit was available at the time, but having tasted it previously I will buy copious amounts when I get the chance.   

So whenever you are near Botrivier or Hermanus, look out for Honingklip on the R43.
