Wildflower Hive: Post Brood Blend #8 will be available online and for tasting and take-away/collection at our cellar door from 12pm (AEST) on Friday 1 March 2024.
An ongoing collaboration with our friends and honey superstars Tim and Emma from Malfory's Gold honey, Hive: Post Brood is 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.
Topher's production notes
Made by refermenting Tim and Emma's honeywax with our aged Gold and bottling with their honey as priming. Bottles are then sealed with the rendered wax which once fermented with the beer. For more information on our process to make this beer, please see this article.
Our tasting notes
An impressively harmonious blend... deep colour, piney, resin, honeycakes, sweet cedar box, forest spice on the nose. Really integrated palate, propolis & bee bread (fermented pollen) vibes, a really clear line across beer with a Gold-like lingering finish. Gorgeous, gorgeous blend.
Like all our beers, Hive: Post Brood Blend #8 is best enjoyed when decanted off a settled natural yeast sediment at cellar temperatures (10-12°C).
Enjoy.
