Honey is a food that has been consumed by humans since the Stone Age. At that time, the sweet, sticky nectar was taken directly from the nests of wild bees, and it was only later that people began to cultivate their own colonies. In ancient Egypt, honey was of great value and was buried with important people. Over time, people in all corners of the planet have eaten honey and lived in harmony with the bee. But they didn’t just eat the golden sweet, they also used it as a medicine, for cooking and baking, and for making alcoholic beverages. The most well-known of these drinks is probably mead, but there were also a number of beer-like brews that were refined with honey.
Many breweries today are continuing this ancient tradition, including Fuller’s from London. Their creation is called Honey Dew and is brewed using raw materials from controlled organic cultivation. Among the fine organic ingredients is a generous portion of honey, which gives the beer its name and its velvety sweetness.
Honey Dew presents itself - how could it be otherwise - in a warm honey gold in the glass and is crowned with a fluffy head of foam. The dominant honey note in the aroma and taste is accompanied by balancing notes of light malt, tangy citrus fruit, herbs and floral hops. Very drinkable!
