Cranberry Honey Dew is also brewed to 5.0% a.b.v., and shares the light, refreshing character of the original. This version has a slightly deeper, richer colour, whilst a dash of pure organic cranberry juice in the brew adds a dry, fruity note, perfectly balancing the sweetness of the honey.

Bottle shared by Peter Bognar. Labeled only Organic Honey Dew, with 5% ABV, but no mention of cranberries. Aroma lightly metallic, sweetish malty, lightly soapy. Clear golden colour. Taste is uninteresting, no honey, lightly lemony. Finish is slightly metallic.

A very good beer with the honey aroma shining through but the cranberries are almost non-existent unless that it they are there just to give this beer a slightly bitterer edge than the common or garden honeydew.

The aroma is sweet and fruity. The color is a beutiful orange and it has a beutiful head. The flavor starts out is nicely sweet malty with strong notes of honey before the bitterness from the cranberries hits the palate. The sweetness turns a little funny artificial in the end. An OK beer but for the artificial note.

Nose gives honey and honey again. First tasting impression: very watery, thinnish. Only a bit honey retronasal, no real sweetness. There is some fruitiness at the side of the tongue - could as well be passionfruit as cranberry as anything else - but the fruitiness gets more obvious after a few sips. Some floral bitterness (low-alpha''s?). Could do better.
