In Honey Spice IPA, sweet honey supports the hops while Malabar black peppercorns cut through this sweetness. The beer is infused with whole cone hops in the boil and dry hopped with a blend of four US varieties. It is then spiced with ground peppercorns and sweetened with honey for bottle conditioning.
Malt: Best Pale Ale and Caramel Malts, Wheat

Bottle at home ... first rate after winning the league ... the fucken league !!!!! 03/05/16 (wee hours). Very lightly hazed golden amber with a decent off white swirl. Nose is sweet malt, bitter orange, Golden Grahams, light fruit loaf, Honey Nut Cornflakes. Taste comprises tangerine, honey dollop. light spice, candyfloss, candied fruit peel, light mineral trace, sweet popping candy flavour (without the popping!). Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light hop bitterness, Ok honeyfied IPA ... sweetish but not overly so ... balance and overall beer much better than I’d expected !

Bottle from the Utobeer Stall. Pours amber with a transient beige head. Mildly spicy aroma. Med body or so. Flavor is slightly roasty malt, some sharpish spice, and something suggesting "old" honey. The spice is peppery, and it inflicts a slight burning sensation. Somehow I’m not super enthused, but it is drinkable.

Bottle from the Bottle Bank. Appearance - golden amber with a decent head. Nose - citrus pine and hop resin. I think the honey used must be quite a floral one as I’m getting fresh citrus notes rather than heavy sweet notes. Taste - initial toffee and honey note followed in by fresh lime. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a balanced dry finish. Overall - it’s good. I think it gets into ESB territory I’m terms of style.

Beer Advent Calander 2nd Dec. from Favourite Beer, Cheltenham. Amber colour, with almost no head. The aroma has sweetness and spice. The taste has the honey at first then the spice finish. Nice.

Bottle from a quality beer & wine shop in St Ives, Cornwall. A golden/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Sweet, lemon, honey aroma. Tastes similar, slightly sweet, honey, lemon, caramel with a slightly bitter ending.

330ml bottle from the brewery online shop. Pours clear gold, thick white head. Big hop aromas, citrus and resin. Very light spice if you look for it, no discernible honey. Taste is bitter. Full body, rich oily mouthfeel, bitter zingy finish. Very nice.
