TASTING NOTES

Antares Honey Beer

SweetHoneyClean

Antares goes direct: honey hits clean and present on the first sip, no hedging. There's a slight floral quality underneath that keeps it from being one-dimensional, and it finishes dry enough that you don't feel cloyed after three or four. The body is light but not thin—it's got just enough substance to feel like a real beer rather than a honey-flavored seltzer. Sessionable in the best way.

Goodwood Hemp Honey Ale

HoneySmoothSweet

Goodwood's hemp presence shows up as a subtle earthiness that sits *under* the honey rather than competing with it. You get a slightly grainier mouthfeel, almost chalky in the best sense, and the finish lingers a beat longer than Antares. It's not aggressively herbal or cannabis-forward—it's more like someone whispered a secret into the beer. If you're paying attention, you'll taste it; if you're just drinking, it'll feel like the honey's just got more dimension.
