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.

Fra cask på Whalebone Hull 25 Nov 15. Delt med Rune. Mørk gyldenbrun. Lavt tett skum. God aprikosaroma. Smaken blomster & bær. En fin fruktig bitterhet kommer etter hvert.

Cask. Shakespeare’s, Sheffield. Clear, pale amber. Bubbly, sticky, white head. Big Mosaic and Citra. Might not have guessed at Sorachi, mind. Hugely fresh and juicy. Taste is suitably chewy, sweet, and pithy, no nonsense bitter. Full, smooth palate. Big beer. Not subtle by any means, and feels a tad heavy. I could really fancy this from a keg. Stays very drinkable, though.

Gravity dispense at the Mulberry Tree, Twickenham, 06/11/15. Clear golden with a decent off white covering. Nose is juicy hop, bitter orange, straw, bready, apricot jam. Taste comprises orange pith, light hops, bready, lemon wine gums. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close. Ok but lacks hops ... A touch pedestrian.

Huddersfield Oktoberfest 2015. Relatively strong tasting, but its citrus flavours certainly subdue this.

Huddersfield Oktoberfest 2015. Golden coloured ale. The ginger is dominant throughout its character, but only slightly overbearing.
