The Story
Airy Okay is a spontaneously fermented Bière de Miel (honey beer).
Fermentation in red Bordeaux barrels added colour and aromatics to complement the honey. The resulting beer was bottled with local honey to trap the notoriously delicate aromatics in the bottle, plus providing sugars for natural carbonation.
The resulting beer is wonderfully aromatic with floral notes of the honey working synergistically with the light citrus of the fermentation. On the palate the beer feels light and sprtizy. The notion of sticky sweetness implied by the honey, cut by balancing acidity and oak tannin.
