Mead 7.5 º

A vibrant and indulgent Fruit and Spice Mead that showcases a rich honey foundation intertwined with the tart, jammy essence of arándanos and the smooth, aromatic grace of vanilla. The presence of honey remains central, providing a floral backdrop to the deep red fruit character. The vanilla rounds out the edges, lending a creamy, almost dessert-like quality to the profile. Despite its 7.5% ABV, it maintains an approachable warmth, culminating in a distinctly sweet finish that lingers with the memory of dark berries and spiced honey. This mead balances fruit acidity with honeyed richness for a lush, dessert-focused experience.

Appearance. Deep crimson to ruby red (SRM 15–22); typically still to very lightly sparkling with no head formation or lacing; clear to slightly hazy depending on fruit particulate.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity; prominent honey floral notes melded with a jammy, dark berry blueberry aroma; distinct sweet, pod-like vanilla fragrance; no hop aroma; clean fermentation with very low esters.

Taste. Initial sweet honey burst followed quickly by the tart, skin-like acidity of arándanos; the vanilla provides a smooth, marshmallow-like mid-palate complexity; no hop bitterness or flavor; balance is heavily tilted toward sweetness and fruit; the finish is long, sweet, and fruity with a lingering honeyed spice.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a silky, syrupy texture; very low carbonation; mild, well-integrated alcohol warmth; no astringency from fruit skins or vanilla.
