This is the first collab beer from To Øl Natur, brewed with our friends at The Barrel Project (UK). We brewed this at our brewpub BRUS and drove the wort out to To Øl City for aging and blending. The honey used for bottle conditioning in this beer is very special and rare. It is called "Honeydew" or "Forest Honey". Any given hive can sometimes contain one frame of this dark-colored honey. It is made when bees take nectar from the butts of aphids who in turn are boring into a tree and eating the sap. The aphids turn the tree sap into nectar, the bees then turn the nectar into honey. Amazingly, this honey contains less glucose and instead has maltose, which is the sugar contained in the malt to make beer.

Victoria ★★★★★

The wort being hauled from the brewpub to a separate facility for aging sounds like a hassle, but damn if that extra blending step didn't pay off. The layers from the barrel aging come through smooth and complex, a proper collab that tastes like the two teams actually pushed each other.

Alexander ★★★★★

The aging and blending process really paid off—there’s a smoothness you don’t get from single-batch brews. I cracked one open after a long week and the complexity kept me coming back for another sip. Definitely grabbing more before it’s gone.

Emma N. ★★★★★

The cross-border brewing setup really shows—there's a depth from the barrel aging that you don't get in standard collabs, and it drinks smooth for something with this much going on. Opened one after a long week and finished the bottle before I knew it.
