Honey Wheat Beer | Beez Neez

First created as a Christmas surprise for staff at honey-makers Capilano from their bosses, this handcrafted wheat beer, with the addition of pure light amber honey, turned out so well it eventually became a Matilda Bay stalwart.

The style

This unique brew has a light malt palate with a distinct honey aroma and flavour plus a hint of bitterness. Clean, crisp and dry on the palate and surprisingly refreshing.

The craft

We brew Beez Neez with a blend of premium pale malted barley and malted wheats, then add Pride of Ringwood hops and pure light amber honey to the kettle to produce a beer that tastes like no other. This light golden coloured beer has a malty, honeyed palate but is decidedly dry, as the honey sugars have been fermented to alcohol.

The match

In the versatility stakes, Beez Neez is a very capable and friendly beer, agreeable to most types of food — from Asian style meals through to dessert. Try it as a dessert wine substitute, it goes well with a cheese platter or honeycomb inspired dish.
