The Queen Bee is a delicious dry hopped IPA (7.7% ABV) with a smooth citrus hoppy flavor. It has a yellow/orange color with a firm hoppy foam. The Queen Bee is an English style IPA with an American hop. We used a single hop, Cascade. The hop is used during the boil for bitterness, and during dry-hopping for aroma. It gives a nice, refreshing, fruity IPA with taste of grapefruit.

Bottle. Color: Orangish copper, small off white head. Taste: Combination of citrus hoppiness and lightly caramel medium sweet malts. Lots of carbonation, very tiny bubbles. Bitter citrus finish. So far it’s good, but this beer definitely lacks taste. Not exactly watery, but it’s a bit like seeing through a curtain: You can see the silhouette but you don’t get the whole view... And that’s definitely a pity for this beer. I think it deserves more.

Bottle. Golden copper color. Aroma of grassy hop, malt and grapefruit. Taste has harsh bitter grassy hop, oxidation and malt. The cardboard flavor messes up the whole beer. Second brew I had from the sisters, second one that’s oxidised. Bad. Drain pour.

330ml bottle. Cloudy, orangy golden colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Fruity hoppy, minimally vinous aroma, notes of grapes, a waxy touch, slightly grainy and grassy background. Taste is slightly grainy malty, bitter and fruity hoppy, hints of grapes, diluted lychee; minimally chalky finish, (too) lively carbonation.

Getreidig hopfiger, zitronig bitterer Antrunk. Trockene Noten von Grapefruit so wirklich spritzig ist der Hopfen nicht. Erhöhte Karbonisierung, hell malzig. Okay. 10/9/8/9/7/9

Lightly hazy gold beer, thin pale cream colour head. Palate is light and dry, decent carbonation. Dry pale malts. Soapy floralness. Trace of citrus. Dry and bitterish soapy finish. Pretty soapy and dry and thus quite lame.

Tap. Orange-golden color with white head. Aroma is tangerines, orange. Taste is more of the same, grassy, with quite a mineralic and tart dead-yeasty finish. Again: Not enough time for the keg to settle the yeasts? High but fine-bubbled carbonation. Ok.
