Belenos L`Esbardu
Mead 8 º
Belenos L’Esbardu is a robust Alternative Sugar Beer showcasing the aromatic richness of Somiedo honey. This 8% ABV ale pours a striking hue between deep gold and mahogany with a fine, persistent white head. The sensory experience is dominated by the wild, floral character of Asturias honey, layered over a soft foundation of bready malt. Despite its strength, the palate is exceptionally structured and "golosa"—sweet and inviting—offering a harmonious balance between sugary depth and a gentle hop presence. It finishes with a refined alcoholic warmth, making it a sophisticated companion for artisanal cheeses, nuts, or light appetizers.
Appearance. Deep gold to light mahogany (10–18 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a fine, matte-white head that demonstrates excellent persistence and delicate lacing.
Aroma. High aromatic intensity featuring distinct floral and wildflower honey notes from Somiedo. Moderate malt backbone provides scents of fresh bread and light toasted grain. Low floral hop aroma. Clean fermentation profile with very subtle fruity esters and no harsh solvent notes.
Taste. Initial impression is one of rich honey sweetness and toasted malt. The Somiedo honey provides a complex, nectar-like flavor that persists throughout the palate. Hop bitterness is low to moderate, providing just enough structure to balance the sugars without being assertive. Balanced and "golosa" with a smooth, lingering honeyed aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly viscous texture. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcoholic warmth consistent with its 8% strength. No astringency.
