Honey Blonde is a light and refreshing blonde/golden ale, with subtle hints of honey and softly sweet malt.
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 the Priory Arms, Stockwell London on 4th August 2010. Clear gold with white thin foamhead and no lacing. Rather sweet aroma; bitter hoppiness rounded by a honey-sweetness. Grapefruit hop and touch of peach. Dry finish with zingy mouthfeel. Well-crafted beer, pleasant drinking.
