Honey Ale

◎ Appearance

A bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a pale straw cast throughout. The head forms with good density and retains a fine, lacy ring against the glass, demonstrating solid carbonation and foam stability typical of the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft honey and light floral notes derived from Norfolk honey, layered beneath pale and crystal malt character that suggests subtle caramel undertones. Aurora hops bring a restrained spice and herbal quality that frames the sweetness without overwhelming it.

◐ Taste

Entry presents a full, malty sweetness from the English pale and crystal malts, with the honey appearing as a smooth, integrated sweetness rather than an adjunct sharpness. Mid-palate develops a pleasant spice from Aurora hops that balances the malt foundation, while bitterness remains low and integrated, finishing clean without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and relatively brief, with residual honey sweetness fading to a dry, slightly peppery aftertaste from the hops. A light, clean conclusion leaves no cloying impression despite the perceived sweetness.
