Waggle Dance?

Has anyone got a good tested recipe for Waggle Dance?

I'm drinking a bottle of an extract version as per...

viewtopic.php?t=41701

I'd love to get my hand on a good AG version.

Thought I'd give this a bump in the hope someone had a idea for a clone?

I'm sure you can make a much better honey beer than Waggle Dance if you just design your own.. It's a pretty crap example of the style imo.

I'd go all pale malt (maybe just a tickle of crystal), low bitterness, with a subtle aroma addition from EKG/Styrians and a nice wodge of pasteurised honey at flame out. Mash high at about 69 to claw back some body and use a fairly neutral yeast.

I love Wagale Dance, I've only tried one other honey beer and that was dire.

To be honest, I haven't yet got to grasp with the malt, hop balance. I need to learn way more about why things do what they do.
