Mead 9 º

This vibrant Melomel captures the essence of a summer classic through the fermentation of local wildflower honey and fresh lime juice. The wildflower honey delivers a complex, floral foundation with herbaceous undertones, while the lime juice provides a bright, bracing citrus acidity that slices through the sweetness. At 9% ABV, it maintains a surprisingly easy-drinking character, masking its strength behind a punchy, tart profile. The interaction between the delicate honey aromatics and the sharp citrus zest creates a sophisticated sensory experience that is simultaneously refreshing and potent, finishing with a clean, honeyed linger.

Appearance. Pale straw to light gold (2-4 SRM); brilliant clarity with a slight shimmer; minimal white head with rapid dissipation, typical of a petillant mead; very fine carbonation beads.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant fresh lime zest and squeezed lime juice; secondary notes of floral wildflower honey, including hints of clover and meadow flowers; clean fermentation profile with no esters or phenols; subtle, well-integrated alcohol.

Taste. Initial impression is a balance of honey sweetness and sharp citrus tartness; rich wildflower honey flavors provide a floral mid-palate; aggressive lime acidity provides a crisp, refreshing counterpoint; no hop bitterness or malt flavors; finish is clean and off-dry with a lingering citrus zest and honeyed aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body; moderate carbonation provides a prickly, refreshing sensation; noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth at 9% ABV; light silkiness from the honey; no astringency from the lime pith.
