Stumble Bee

Tap to rate

Stumble Bee is a light amber ale brewed with honey from Stokeley, the farm where the brewery stands. The aroma is flowery and fruity, the body full and smooth. The honey adds its part to the flavour and is answered by a hoppy aftertaste, so the beer settles between bitter and sweet. At 4.2% it belongs to the brewery's core range and is sold on cask and as a bottle-conditioned beer.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, full-bodied character enhanced by the honey's malty sweetness, which carries through the mid-palate with a clean, rounded mouthfeel. A restrained hoppy bitterness emerges in the finish, creating an appealing tension between the beer's sweet foundation and its dry, bitter conclusion.
