Fullers – Organic Honeydew

Posted by: Tony In: Bottles, Breweries

Bottle Three today is Fullers Organic Honeydew.

Honeydew is a ‘… refreshing golden beer’ and is 5%.

Bottle notes say ‘… this award winning premium beer is delightfully sweet, golden and refreshing’. Apparently it is ‘… the UKs leading organically produced ale’.

Honeydew is brewed ‘ …using English malts and the finest honey to give a mellow, rounded character which is deliciously balanced with zesty hops’.

There’s even a recipe idea on the bottle – which I’ll mention sometime if it turns out to be any good.

Fullers recommend you drink this cold – but mine is at room temperature and the taste of honey is amazing. I doubt it would be so full on if it was colder.

It is incredibly refreshing – perfect for today’s sunny day – and it is hard to believe it is a 5% ale. No sooner had I opened this than I had drunk it. It is certainly mellow and I reckon you could easily drink too many of these and be hammered before you knew it. It is just so easy to drink.

This is definitely an ale for a sunny day in the garden or at a BBQ.

Fullers do some great bottles (I have 1845 and ESB for later) and this is one of them. I imagine some people might be put off by the name and the label – but you shouldn’t. This is a great ale.

I’d score this 4 out of 5.
