Selfmade Brewery
Steppe & Wind Meadery (Степь и Ветер)

This Session Melomel emerges from the glass with a vibrant, sun-drenched character. A collaborative creation between Selfmade and Steppe & Wind, it delivers an explosive tropical profile driven by succulent Pineapple and bright Tangerine. The initial sweetness is expertly countered by the sharp, refreshing acidity of Passionfruit and Calamansi, creating a zesty, citrus-forward experience. Beneath the tidal wave of fruit, a delicate floral honey backbone provides structure and a soft, nectar-like finish. It is a light-bodied and effervescent journey, capturing the essence of a desert oasis through its balanced play of exotic fruit sugars and crisp, thirst-quenching tartness.

Appearance. Pale gold with soft orange highlights (SRM 4-6). Clarity is slightly hazy due to significant fruit additions. Minimal, white, fast-dissipating head with no lacing, typical of carbonated mead.

Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by fresh Pineapple and tangy Passionfruit. Strong citrus notes of Tangerine zest and the distinctive, sharp perfume of Calamansi. Background notes of floral wildflower honey and a hint of fruit-derived acidity.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical acidity. Tart Pineapple and Passionfruit lead, followed by the juicy sweetness of Tangerine. The Calamansi provides a complex citrus bite that cuts through the mild honey sweetness. The finish is clean, dry, and lingering with a pleasant fruit-skin tartness.

Mouthfeel. Light-bodied and very refreshing. Moderate carbonation provides a prickly, lively sensation. Very low alcohol warmth. Smooth, with no astringency despite the high concentration of citrus juices.
