Mead 12.5 º

Pips Meadery

This opulent Other Fruit Mead pours a vibrant crimson, leading with the intense, floral perfume of Orange Blossom Honey. The sensory experience is dominated by the Yumberry, delivering an assertive, bright acidity akin to pomegranate and tart cranberry. On the palate, a deep seediness reminiscent of raspberries intertwines with the honey's delicate citrus and floral notes. Its high viscosity provides a luxurious, mouth-coating texture that balances the sharp fruit acids, preventing the residual sugar from becoming cloying. The finish is remarkably long and fruit-focused, transitioning from rich honeyed depth to a refreshing, zesty fruit snap that lingers with a clean, tart elegance.

Appearance. Brilliant clarity with a deep, vibrant crimson hue. As a still mead, it exhibits no head or carbonation, though high viscosity is evidenced by slow-moving, heavy legs (tears) on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity and complex. Distinctive floral and citrus notes from Orange Blossom Honey provide a fragrant base. The Yumberry contributes a sharp, punchy fruit character with nuances of pomegranate, tart raspberry, and a hint of earthy seediness. No fermentation defects or harsh alcohols are present.

Taste. Initial impression is one of rich honey sweetness quickly countered by high fruit acidity. Prominent Yumberry flavor suggests a blend of cranberry and pomegranate with a distinct raspberry seed-like tannin. The Orange Blossom Honey adds a light citrus-peel complexity. Boldly acidic but perfectly balanced by the residual sugar. The finish is long and lingering with a crisp fruit tartness.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and highly viscous with a rich, velvety texture. No carbonation. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but never harsh. Significant mouth-coating properties with a noticeable but pleasant fruit-derived astringency and bright, mouth-watering acidity.
