Backyard Brewery Bee 17
Incoming! The Bee 17 turned out pretty much as you would expect a pilsner-style lager from the Backyard Brewery in Sweden to. While lagering the brewmaster bombards the brew with hops giving the beer its final profile. The grassy Saaz battles flowery Willamette for your nose’s attention, giving it a pleasurable sting in the tail. No wonder there’s a real buzz about this beer.

Tasting Notes
Golden in colour with a pearly white head, elegant dry body and a refreshing bitterness. Combines the elegance and drinkability of a pilsner with the charged floral nose of a dry-hopped lager.
Accompaniments
Good with fish, meat, veg, starters, puddings, snacks – well anything really.
