About

Honey is added to beer as a fermentable adjunct. Since it is nearly 100% fermentable, honey lightens body and dries the finish while adding subtle floral and honey notes. It is traditional in braggots and honey ales, and used in various specialty beers.

Flavor Contribution

Honey sweetness (mostly ferments out), floral, dry finish
