On tap at Labietis, pours a hazy blonde with no head. Nose brings out wild honey, with biscuity notes and light bees wax. Flavour is along the same lines, with almost no residual sweetness - bringing out light farmhouse notes, some bees wax and a touch of wildflower honey. Not very robust and lacking body and depth, but it's pleasant.

Draft sample @ TCBW ’16. Dorée/paille, léger voile, col blanc très fin. Arôme au nez mielleux, fleuri assez direct avec un retro-nasal d’essaim, honeycomb quoique un peu dillué. Palais est cloying, mielleux, beehive très naturel et frais, retrouve un léger côté boisé de forêt, fleuri. Effervescence reste légère entre moyenne-basse. Bizarre de retrouver un hydromel ’gluten free’.
