Pouring a deep, golden colour with wafts of sweet honey, Humdinger is a multi-award winning speciality ale. The enticing scent comes from the Mexican aroma honey which comes through in subtle undertones and balances impeccably with the traditional bitter notes and malt. Humdinger first came to life after winning a top brewing competition in 2004.
Full of character and flavour, the use of fine English malt and citrus whole hops lead to a well-rounded, lightly hopped and satisfyingly refreshing ale. It’s lightly carbonated, smooth and brewed at 4.1%, making it an ideal choice for a laid-back evening or day session.
A Humdinger indeed.

Bottle from ASDA, Manchester. Clear copper-amber with no head. Sweet malty ale, although never too stated with its malts, nor in its honey flavourings.

500ml bottle at home. Pours clear dark yellow, little to no head. Aroma has that dirty sweetness honey has, plus a floral note. Quite thin, but an easy enough beer to quaff.

50 cl bottle @ HBF. Rated on 21.05.2010
Aroma has honey, English hops and hints of hay. Flavour has somewhat artifical honey notes, hay, English hops, caramel and toffee. 10 cl of this stuff was definitely enough. It seeems that Joseph Holt is not one of my favourite breweries.
