Mélusine

Beer from the Mélusine brewery, established in 2001 in the hedgerow countryside of Vendée at Chambretaud, near Puy du Fou. Hazy golden-yellow color and gentle carbonation; an expressive, inviting nose of orange blossom honey, grain, hay, pear, and candied fruit, with notes of spice and vanilla. On the palate, malt dominates with a flavor of soft bread crumb, followed by fruit, the sweetness of honey and barley sugar, and a delicate bitterness in the finish that evokes quince.
