Bees Knees is a wheat ale brewed with local organic honey. In 2014 the honey was derived from California citrus groves. We brew this ale with a blend of 2-Row base malt and 40% white wheat malt to a medium bodied 5.0% abv. The hopping rate of 18 IBUs balances the perceived sweetness of the honey and comes from the German Hallertau Mittelfruh, a hop variety prized for a distinct floral and citrus aromas. Bees Knees is an easy drinking summer seasonal session beer but the addition of local honey lends a sense of occasion.
