◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a pronounced honey character, immediately followed by a complex floral bouquet derived from the field-gathered bee pollen. Beneath this lies the characteristic lambic funkiness—earthy, slightly musty notes with mild vinous undertones—balanced by subtle wheat grain and a whisper of lactic sourness that adds freshness without aggression.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a soft, honey-led sweetness tempered immediately by a refined acidity that builds gently through the mid-palate. The bee pollen infusion delivers genuine flowery depth without artificiality, while subtle fruity notes emerge alongside the traditional lambic funk. The finish balances tart and dry elements, with a smooth roundness that prevents any harshness, creating a harmonious interplay between sweetness and restraint.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, with the sourness gradually subsiding into a clean, dry conclusion. A lingering honey note persists gently on the palate, accompanied by a faint herbal-funky dryness characteristic of aged lambics.
