Brown 500ml bottle (could well be a re-badged version of Bubble Beer by the same brewery?). Best before 14th May 2010, drank 20th Feb 2010: poured into my vase shaped 'Old Speckled Hen' pint glass.

Very lively and very, very pale gold in colour. A huge foaming white head was produced as I poured the beer, only half the bottle could get in there was so much of a head, plus it wouldn't shrink away! The first few sips were like trying to drink through a frothy milkshake.

Different local honeys, with four seasonal blooms are used in the brew, hence the flowery, honey scented aromas given off.

Tasted like a lager/pilsner to me at first, wasn't expecting that at all. I think the colour and brightness of the beer fooled my eyes and tastebuds, because as the beer warmed and I got used to it, the feel and flavours changed. The sediment in the bottom of the bottle also helped to alter the taste of the beer somewhat. The third and final pour brought those out, giving a more yeasty feel and flavour to the last few sips. Before the sediment was added to the glass delicate and understated unsweetened honey flavours came into being and a hop bitterness arrived towards the end as the mouth dried.

Tangy, sharp and refreshing, a sunny day beer, today it is sunny for a change(but only just above freezing outside).

I am begining to like this cheap bottled beer companies products, all at just over £1.00 each they deliver a great choice and some well made beers.
