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.

Half, cask ale shared with Finn at Rutland Arms. Clear amber body, creamy beige head. Grainy nose with hints of herbal hops. Caramel flavours together with ripe fruits. Smooth bittersweet tail. Fair enough (Sheffield 15.02.2016).

Cask at the Rutland Arms, Sheffield. Light to mid-gold with a big white head and extra lacing for your pleasure. Grapefruit aroma with a cereal backbone. Extraordinarily hoppy bitter sate which focuses its ire in the back of the throat. Long bitter finish. Oily body. Top notch stuff.

Rochdale Beer Festival 2015. Glowing golden coloured. Hoppy and fruity in equal measures, there’s underlying flavours from the tropics in this ale. Has a small malty undercurrent.

Cask @ Fox & Goose, Hebden Bridge. Darker copper coloured with a thin head. Slightly malty but more hoppy, with a mild tropical fruitiness and a sugary sweetness.

Cask. Shakespeares, Sheffield. Clear, pale gold. Messy, thin, sticky, white head. Aroma of sweet, bready malts. Crisp lemon hop. Hints of peach and melon. Taste is punchy bitter. Little in the way of sweetness. Light body. Punchy bitter finish.

Cask half-pint in The Station, Oakengates Shropshire on 12th Dec 2015. Yet another light golden English beer with a citrus lead: this one is no better or worse than the rest. Fed up with the style, but know many who just love them.

Cask, half pint, shared with Finn at Whalebone. Fawn-coloured head remaining over a deep dark coloured content with a ruby tint. Roasted malty nose, hints of coffee. Dark malty flavours of dark bread, liquorice and coffee. Ashy. Prolonged ending. Quite alright (Hull, 25.11.2015).

Cask at Whalebone, shared with Finn. Lasting pearl white head. Clear golden-brown in body colour. Solid lacing. Mid-sweet aroma of apricot and peach. Rather sweet fruit cocktail flavours including moments of pineapple, peach and apricot. On the sweet side of bittersweet to the ending. Medium bodied. Satisfying, not more (Hull, 25.11.2015).
