A beer of harmony and balance, Bee-Have Pure Honey Rye Ale illustrates the epic results of the combination of the Bow River water from the Canadian Rockies with "Sweet Pure Honey" from the fragrant prairies of Porcupine Plains Saskatchewan. This collaboration effort is sure to please palates of all kinds The malted barley used in this unique brew is complimented by the subtle spiciness of rye. Bittering and flavor hop additions help keep this brew extremely balanced. In addition, there is a mild sweetness that dulls any overwhelming rye or hop flavor derived from the addition of "Sweet Pure" Honey.

355ml can - a collaboration of sorts, where an Albertan liquor agent brings a honey products purveyor and a brewer together to produce a honey rye ale. They did the same thing about 4 years back with a brewer in Montana - look it up, if you wish, I'll wait.
Ok, this beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some random sudsy archipelago lace around the glass as it genially recedes.
It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser rye cereal astringency, earthy honey, clover, muddled light orchard fruity notes, and some plain leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery caramel malt, biscuity rye bread, a kind of ephemeral honeyed sweetness, more understated generic fruit esters, and a sense of earthy, leafy, and musty floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly testy in its probing frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and sort of smooth, as an uncertain edginess burbles just below the surface, suggesting more to come. It finishes off-dry, the robust maltiness keeping this one on the straight and narrow.
Overall, this is indeed a well-made brew, with the rye actually taking a backseat in the proceedings, much like the hard to really even notice honey character. Oh well, parsing aside, I do like this one, as a nice sessioner, with more than a few ESB tendencies. Yeah.
