beez neez vs. bee sting

[SpillsMostOfIt]

Only tried BeezNeez once, and won't bother again. Pretty ordinary flavour, and each mouthful seemed like it was from a different bottle.

Did not enjoy it.

It's been a long time since I tried it last. I'm unlikely to, which is a pity because the theory is nice. Perhaps the Top Gear Beer (The Sting...) is worth a try.

Second that, was all excited about 12 months ago when I purchased first Beez Neez, and then I was extremely disappointed.

Have not had the "Sting", but after the Neez, not too keen.

Better Honey Brew??, my HB with 1kg of honey, not brilliant, but better.

Seriously - give the Sting a go. Had another one Friday night and I love it, even though I thought the Neez was crap. See what you think, because I can't get enough of the Sting. Let us know.

Will do.

Just going to pop down to Liquorland and see if they have a stubbie.

I'll do the same.

So, while they are all down the pub, we need to convince Danzar to take this up as his new project...

No luck for the Sting at Liquorland, only a smallish shop though.

They had Beez Neez

Will try near my house

[Pale_Ale]

Try Dan Murphys that's where I'll be looking for my stubbie.

The Liquorland near me had Beez Neez in the bargain bin for $1 a bottle, got all of them (about 4 or 5). They probably can't get rid of them, everyone who goes in there just buys 30 packs of West End.

I tried some bee sting the other day.... anyway I can change my vote???

[KEG]

i hadn't had beez neez since before i really got into different varieties of beer, and home brewing. i tried one again tonight, hoping to be able to notice that it was a honey wheat beer, but again it tasted so... generic. couldn't tell at all. characterless

[Pale_Ale]

To be fair with honey the flavour ends up dissappearing, I reckon the fresher you can get this stuff the better

[drsmurto]

Had a glass of Beez Neez in the Sydney airport last night. Cost me $7 for what was an SA schooner, Vic pot (lets not open that thread up again.....). Anyways, 285 mL of very expensive beer and i gotta say, not that great. Not bad mind you but just not what i would have expected from a smaller brewey. Honey flavour is subtle but there but i wouldnt pick it as a wheat beer if i didnt read the label...

never had the bee sting, will have to track that down so i can vote!

[Tourist]

Forced myself to have a Neez last weekend and it still tastes rubbish to me. I say and say again - they are worlds apart, incomparable. Even if you don't like Bee Sting, you will see that all honey-wheats do not taste like BK.

[craig82]

well for me, i havn't had a beez neez in ages and as for the sting well i've never had that one. i guess theres only one thing to do to decide. but both today and have a crack.
cheers
craig.

tried beesting now.. soooo much better than beez neez! it's a bit more obviously a wheat beer, and you can at least tell there's honey in it! good hop balance too...

When I first had Bee Sting, it was pretty good. Only had a couple bottles though. When I found it stocked at the local 1st Choice, I got a six for abut $20, and they were without exception over-carbonated bottle-geysers when opened, and would foam terribly in my mouth. Even after sitting upright in the fridge for a month, it was that way. Sure it may be better, but I had a bad experience and won't pay for that again. Maybe if I see it on tap somewhere I'll give it a try. Beez Neez is a good thirsty beer, and though not as good, its been rather consistent for me.

[KEG]

it sounds like those bottles were infected...

[Snowdog]

Most likely, but at $20 a six, I won't be trying them again anytime soon.

[Noodles]

Although I've never tried it, I voted for Bee Sting. Surely it couldn't be worse than Beez Neez. Beez Neez is a terrible beer which should be banned from public consumption. It's unbelievable that Matilda Bay can produce a beer as great as the Bohemian Pilsner and also turn out crap like Beez Neez.

Snowdog, you should have rung them up and complained. I bet they would have sent you a replacement six-pack.
