Notes

Let's paint a word picture for you. Start with a sky the shade of blue that only an early summer afternoon can deliver. The sun is shining its love down, warming you like a gentle hug from your favorite person. Brief interludes of shade are cast down by happy little clouds passing lazily by. Far below there's a little stream meandering through a mountain meadow. In its own way, it sings along with the birds who call this place home. Look a little closer. Notice the little honeybee, joyously floating on the breeze? Not a care in the world...just bouncing from flower to flower in the endless patches of wild thyme that give the sparkling water just a hint of purple. Now, imagine how this little bee feels as it savors sweet nectar freshly drawn from the alpine blooms. Yeah, that's the kind of warm fuzzy perfection harnessed in this brew. So, crack a open a bottle and start floating on a happy little journey of your own.
