Another honey beer in the list, as I stated before, my memory of Honey beers is a good one, in fact it wasn't until I tried the first one on the list that I enjoyed one. The Brewery says,"The Freeminer Brewery; This full flavoured golden coloured ale is brewed exclusively for the Co-op by the award winning Freeminer brewery in the Royal Forest of Dean. Brewed using First Gold Hops from Worcestershire and Fairtrade honey from Chile, the beer enjoys a silky aroma of hops and honey and a long, smooth finish. Enjoy lightly chilled with Caeser salad, chicken pasta and even cheesecake! Fairtrade aims to help marginalised growers and small scale producers in developing countries to get a fair deal for their output."

The Independent says,"Located in the depths of the Royal Forest of Dean, the Freeminer Brewery is one of real ale's best kept secrets, producing a fantastic range of beer using exclusively natural ingrediants (no extract of hops or barley) and traditional techniques. Bumble Bee is a belting example of Freeminer at its best: an amber beer, hoppy and earthy, with hints of vanilla."

I say; Mmmm, both bitter and sweet, deliciously moreish, has an amazing aftertaste which just says golden hops. Not too sweet, in fact very understated, a beer to enjoy cold when hot!
