This Fairtrade Ale is produced using the finest Chilean Wild Flower Fairtrade Honey, and the best of British malt and hops. The barley is now sourced from Co-operative Farms in Gloucestershire and the hops from Worcestershire.
Bumble Bee Fairtrade Honey Ale brewed and created by Freeminer reflect its origins in the bottle. At 4.6% abv this is a refreshing beer with subtle hop flavours blending with a premium malt character, and a sublime parting note of wild flowers growing on a Chilean hillside memorable until the next bottle.
Honey Ale was the first ever licensed own label Fairtrade beer when it was first launched in 2005. Best served chilled.

Dorada muy clara, apenas espuma. Trigo,cebada y 24% de miel. La miel se nota algo (perfume floral) en el aroma y nada en el sabor. Quizas suaviza y endulza, pero no sabe. Final no muy conseguido entre dulce y amargo, no agradable.

500ml bottle: BBD 10 Dec 2015, poured into a UK pint sleeve at home on 21 Apr 2015. Really struggled with this. Golden pour with a minimal head showing. Honey esters rule the nose and these carry on into the taste: the honey flavouring dominating the whole experience. Honey beers are not my thing for some reason: I’ve tried a few now and I think this one has had the most pronounced honey flavours (24% is a huge percentage of the ingredients).

Bottle from the Coop. Appearance - pale golden with a proportionate head. Nose - slight butterscotch but floral honey dominant. A lime note in there. Taste - sweet honey and malt. Again citrus note on the back. Palate - light to medium bodied with a big tangy texture and a finish that could be cleaner. Overall - solid enough.

500ml bottle from the co-op. A light amber coloured beer with a tiny head. The aroma and taste have a honey sweetness that dominates. There is some maltiness but no real hops noticed. This is all honey.
