HOPIQ TAKE

Antares Honey Beer if you want straightforward honey sweetness that doesn't overthink itself, Goodwood Hemp Honey Ale if you want texture and subtle earthiness layered under that same sweetness. Both sit at 5.5% and 20 IBU, so they're basically twins on paper—but the hemp in Goodwood adds this almost grainy, slightly herbal dimension that changes how the honey reads. It's the difference between honey that's there to sweeten versus honey that's there to participate.

TASTING NOTES

Antares Honey Beer

SweetHoneyClean

Antares hits you with clean, forward honey notes right away—almost like someone dissolved wildflower honey into a pale ale base and called it done. The malt underneath is light and unobtrusive, letting the honey do the talking. It's drinkable and approachable, the kind of beer that doesn't demand much from you. That low IBU means zero bitterness to fight the sweetness, so this one's genuinely easy to drink through, though it can feel a touch one-dimensional by the third sip.

Goodwood Hemp Honey Ale

HoneySmoothSweet

Goodwood's hemp addition is subtle but perceptible—you get this slightly papery, almost cannabis-adjacent earthiness that sits underneath the honey notes like a bed. The honey's still there, still sweet, but it's not the whole story. There's a dryness the hemp brings that keeps the beer from feeling cloying, and the malt has a little more presence, almost nutty. It's more complex, which makes it more interesting to sit with, but also means it's doing more work.
