The brewery: "Drink Hiver, save bees. Un[bee]lievable right?.....Well, the truth is we’ve been as committed to bees as we have been to beer since we started brewing our flagship fresh and natural blonde beer back in 2013......Everyone knows that without bees we’d all be in a very difficult place environmentally, so we made it our cause from the beginning to champion these essential little gems of nature......Every day we’re helping independent British beekeepers by buying their honey to nurture both urban and rural hives, creating healthy colonies that can do the heavy lifting of pollinating the food we eat. We then use the honey as an integral part of our brewing process, helping us to deliver this crisp, light-tasting beer with a subtle honey aroma......We don’t pasteurise our beer either, which means you always get the freshest, most natural beer in your glass. And, just like the bees as they go from flower to flower, we tread lightly in all areas of our daily business, so there’s plenty of reasons to feel good about choosing Hiver."
The beer: "The latest addition to the Hiver family, a moreish, balanced and flavoursome Indian Pale Ale made from only British ingredients and suppliers...... A digestive biscuit-malt base with a delicate honey aftertaste and a peppery finish."
A pleasant drop this, I liked the combination of flavours. Served a tad colder yhan usual which worked well.
