Recently awarded 2009 World Beer Awards, Worlds Best Honey Beer - read more here

   
The Beer

You've heard of barley wine, well we are calling this a Wheat Wine, what we believe to be the first of its kind in the UK.  We took our popular Henley Gold recipe to the extreme by bumping up the wheat.  To try and cut the heaviness from that much wheat we added our weight in local honey and fermented with our Henley Gold yeast strain then patiently cold conditioned for 6 months prior to bottling.

Lovibonds Gold Reserve is available in our online shop  or our retail shop.

Each 75cl bottle is individually numbered and hand dipped in wax.

 
Tasting note

A honey gold sparkle, with a creamy white head. Aroma is rich and sweet of honey and fruit.  Medium bodied sweetness with some alcohol warmth and a well-rounded finish.
