About This Beer
Hope Queen Bee Honey Blonde Ale is a distinctive Irish craft beer collaboration from Hope Beer and Brewery Ho(o)p, bringing together a refreshing Blonde Ale base with the subtle complexity of linden honey and the aromatic qualities of Comet hops.
Blonde Ales are known for their approachable character, balanced flavour profile and refreshing drinkability, making them an excellent choice for both experienced craft beer drinkers and those beginning to explore independent brewing. Queen Bee takes this accessible style and introduces an interesting twist through the addition of linden honey, creating extra depth while maintaining a dry and refreshing finish.
At 5.5% ABV and presented in a 44cl craft beer can, this Honey Blonde Ale showcases the creativity of modern Irish brewing. Rather than being dominated by sweetness, the honey element is carefully balanced, adding subtle character while allowing the blonde ale foundation and hop profile to shine.
This collaboration highlights how independent breweries continue to experiment with ingredients, techniques and flavours to create distinctive beers that offer something different from more traditional styles.
