Buzz

Tap to rate

The stronger version of the brewery's honeycomb pale ale: 6.0% instead of 4.0%, and billed as an addition to the same family of beers. Rich, toasted malts form the base, layered with a pronounced golden sweetness from honeycomb syrup. The body is full and the mouthfeel velvety; the overall impression is sweet and very smooth. Vegan, part of the specials range and on the export list; sold in 440 ml cans.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted malt character, offering warmth and depth beneath the dominant honeycomb sweetness that carries throughout. Subtle hop aromatics provide a gentle herbal and citric backdrop, though the adjunct and caramelized malt notes remain the focal point. The overall bouquet is forward and approachable, with no harsh or aggressive elements.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a full, velvety body that coats the mouth generously. Honeycomb syrup creates a pronounced golden sweetness across the mid-palate, supported by rich toasted malt notes that provide structure and mild roasted character. Bitterness is restrained at 35 IBU, remaining balanced rather than assertive, allowing the malt and adjunct to dominate the flavor arc.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and lingering, with the honeycomb sweetness and toasted malt persisting without becoming cloying. A gentle drying sensation emerges near the close, courtesy of the modest hop bitterness, leaving the palate satisfied and ready for the next sip.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
