Bee's Wing

Tap to rate

Bee's Wing is a summer beer brewed with Irish malted barley and a touch of honey. Bright citrus hop notes lead, set against a subtle floral character that comes from the honey. Because it ferments out completely, it contributes aroma and complexity rather than sweetness. The beer is light, crisp and clean, with a smooth malt backbone, and no single element dominates.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a light, crisp malt foundation that allows the citrus hop character to flourish without aggression. A gentle bitterness frames the middle, while the completely fermented honey contributes aromatic complexity and subtle depth rather than residual sweetness, resulting in a smooth, well-integrated whole.
