Mead 12.5 º

Hive Mind Mead & Brew Co

Hiraeth is a profound expression of Welsh terroir, defined by the concentrated essence of Welsh Heather honey. This Dry Traditional Mead offers an evocative sensory journey through rugged hillsides, led by heady, perfume-like floral notes and a subtle, earthy undertone characteristic of highland blossoms. At a potent 12.5% ABV, it provides a sophisticated, warming presence that complements its bone-dry structure. The experience is defined by its crispness and a bright, clean finish that strips away any perceived sweetness, leaving behind a delicate lingering of wildflowers and mountain air. It is a masterclass in balance, showcasing the raw complexity of monofloral honey.

Appearance. Light straw to pale gold with brilliant, crystalline clarity. As a still or lightly petillant mead, it lacks a head but displays prominent, slow-moving legs on the glass, indicating high alcohol content.

Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by the perfumed, floral notes of heather honey. Distinctive herbal and slightly woody nuances are present, backed by a clean fermentation profile and a faint, earthy sweetness that suggests honey without being cloying.

Taste. The palate is bone-dry, featuring the intricate flavors of heather honey—floral, mildly herbal, and earthy—without any residual sugar. No hop bitterness is present; instead, a bright, crisp acidity provides structure. The finish is long, clean, and bracingly dry.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Carbonation is negligible to very low, and the mead lacks any syrupy weight or harsh astringency, feeling remarkably bright and nimble on the tongue.
