Description
Blue Bee Brewery is an independent brewery in the heart of the valley of beer in Sheffield, England.
Blue Bee was set up in 2010 by Richard Hough, former head brewer at Abbeydale, who has also done stints at Acorn, Crown, Spire, Raw and Marble. Starting his own brewery allows him to use this invaluable experience on his own terms, creating beers that are noted for “quality, consistency and with a slight addiction factor”. In 2014 the business was acquired by Reet Ale Pubs, which runs three pubs in Sheffield.

North Riding brewpub. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, good cream colour head. Palate is smooth with decent fine carbonation. Soft pale malts, mild creamy sweetness. Grapefruit and bitter orange hops, some citric peel. Light finish. Pleasantly hoppy but inevitably thin.

Tap. Keg bar at the 42nd Steel City Beer Festival. Hazy gold. Dense, lasting, white head. Big Sorachi aroma. Coconut. Pineapple juice. Bit of a Bretty type twang. Very juicy and Pina Colada like! Taste is tangy, with lots of minerality. Coconut and pineapple sweetness. Crisp and fresh. More of the coconut and fruit carrying on right into the finish. Gets nicely bitter on the close, balancing things out well. Great stuff.

On cask at the Bow Bar. Appearance - golden with a nice head. Nose - a bit muted. Resin and light lemon. Taste - more resin and tonnes of lemon pith. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - you know this is gnarly but it grows on you.

Huddersfield Oktoberfest 2016. Hoppy in the main, with a very palatable fruitiness for its strength.
