Hop Union Brewery Bees Knees Honey Pale
Pale Ale 4.2 º
This refreshing American Pale Ale harmonizes traditional English roots with contemporary fruitiness. Local Bristol honey provides a delicate floral sweetness that bridges the gap between the soft, bready malt and the diverse hop profile. East Kent Golding contributes classic earthy and herbal notes, while the modern Olicana variety injects bright bursts of tropical and stone fruit. The honey’s character varies seasonally, adding a unique, wildflower complexity to the bouquet. Despite its sessionable strength, the beer maintains a characteristic hop-forward balance, finishing with a crisp, bittersweet snap and a clean, lingering floral aftertaste.
Appearance. Pale golden (approx. 5-6 SRM) with a moderately large, off-white head showing good retention and light lacing. Generally clear, though a very faint haze may be present from the honey and cask conditioning.
Aroma. Moderate to moderately-high hop intensity featuring a blend of earthy spice and floral notes from East Kent Golding alongside grapefruit and mango from Olicana. A distinct wildflower honey aroma is present, supported by low bready malt and subtle fruity esters of pear and apple.
Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward but balanced by a delicate honey presence. Malt flavor is low with a bready, slightly biscuit-like quality. Hop flavors reflect the aroma with earthy spice and tropical stone fruit. Bitterness is moderate, providing a bittersweet balance. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering note of floral honey and soft hop resins.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate carbonation. Overall smooth and drinkable with no alcohol warmth and a clean finish devoid of harshness or astringency.
