History
Fuller's launched Organic Honey Dew in 2000, to capitalise on a growing trend in Britain for organic produce. In 2008, it was voted World's Best Honey Beer at the World Beer Awards.
Characteristics
A light golden beer with a zesty edge and a hint of honey sweetness, Organic Honey Dew is a naturally palatable brew that finds popularity among lager drinkers as well as ale fans. It's a popular misconception that only the honey is organic, but in fact the beer is brewed with entirely organic ingredients. It uses organic honey imported from Brazil, plus organic English malt and hops including the First Gold hop variety.
Organic Honey Dew is available in pasteurised bottles and kegs all year round, with a strength of 5% ABV.
