Honey Dew

Honey Dew

This is a very interesting beer. Fuller's Honey Dew is as unique as its concept and is a delightfully intriguing beer that will leave you confused yet contempt. I was pleasantly surprised by this beer as I thought the honey may be overpowering, however I am  happy to say that honey in beer does works!

The appearance of this beer is a light golden amber colour with a subtle head, which makes it a very clean looking beer. The aroma is sweet and malty with a hint of honey, which lives up to the title. Now onto the flavour, this matches the aroma but is only more intense. There is a sweet honey flavour with a slight citrus finish that is supported by a subtle bitterness. The flavour is well rounded yet perhaps overpowered by the honey; so if you don’t like honey this beer is not for you. The mouthful is of medium carbonation making it a refreshing beer that is very drinkable.

Overall this is a nice summer beer if you like sweet flavours, but if you are not an adventurous beer drinker this may not be for you as it is very sweet. This beer has encouraged me to try some more interesting flavoured beers as I believe there is more potential for beers outside the use of the simple ingredients.
