A golden straw coloured bitter. A superb blend of spicy and floral hops, added to the smooth sweetness imparted by Flaked Maize and wild flower honey, make this a beer that never hangs around for long!
Also named Downton Chimera Honey Blonde.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford – as Downton Honey Blonde Pours a pale yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Honey and malts together in the nose. Has a sharp tangy taste in the mouth. Malts and honey to the fore, but also grains and a hint of citrus. Honey and lemon in the finish. Not at all bad.

Sample from bottle at Winchester Christmas Market. Sweet floral aroma. Medium gold. Thin bubbly white head. Light bitter with a sweet streak and a hint of sourness. Light. Thin. Average carbonation. Abrupt finish. Nice enough without being overly interesting.

Cask-conditioned at the Lime Kiln, Bristol 19/2/2017. Deep gold in colour with a slight, white, head. Stone fruits, leafy hops, lager malts, some honey character and a decent, bitter, finish. Fine.
