Wildflower Hive: Post Brood #12

Marrickville / Sydney // Australia 7% ABV Very limited bottles. An ongoing collaboration with their friends and honey superstars Tim and Emma from Malfroy’s Gold Wild Honey. A barrel aged golden mixed culture ale refermented with natural formed Warré hive post-brood wild comb from the Blue Mountains and Central Tablelands of NSW. Each bottle is dipped in the same wax post-refermentation in this beer, there may be small residue still of propolis in the wax leaving black specks in the golden yellow beeswax. Hugely aromatic blend. Lots of pine needles, resin and the classic Blue Mountains Post Brood nose, with balanced acidity and a dry-waxy finish. A small bottling of just over 700 bottles means that the proportion of wax:beer was quite high here, which is apparent on the texture and lasting finish.
