Mead 6 º

GANZA Brewery

Sleepwalking is a vibrant Fruit Mead that showcases the bold, tannic character of black currants against a delicate honey backdrop. It pours a striking deep crimson with brilliant clarity. The nose is dominated by the earthy, tart perfume of dark berries, underpinned by subtle notes of wildflower honey. On the palate, an initial burst of acidic black currant fruitiness gives way to a light, clean honey sweetness. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with a lingering berry tartness that avoids being overly cloying. At a sessionable strength, it balances intense fruit character with an effortless, easy-drinking structure.

Appearance. Deep ruby to dark purple color (SRM 30+); typically still to slightly sparkling with no head formation or lacing; brilliant clarity with a garnet rim.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of fresh black currants, displaying characteristic tart, earthy, and deep berry notes. Low floral honey aroma; no malt or hop character; clean fermentation profile with no detectable sulfur, esters, or phenols.

Taste. Immediate impact of tart black currant skins and juice. Moderate honey flavor provides a balanced sweetness that prevents the fruit acidity from becoming harsh. Initial impression is fruity, finishing off-dry and crisp with a lingering dark fruit tannin presence; no hop bitterness or malt flavors.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body consistent with a hydromel strength; moderate carbonation provides a refreshing, prickly sensation; light alcohol warmth; slight tannic astringency from the fruit skins adds structure.
