Mead 14 º

Standard Meadery

This Experimental Mead offers a decadent liquid interpretation of a blueberry tart, delivering a rich sensory experience that bridges the gap between fruit wine and dessert. The profile opens with an intense, jammy burst of ripe blueberries supported by a deep, floral honey foundation. Distinctive notes of toasted honey-graham and subtle vanilla from the graham cracker additions evoke the character of a buttery baked crust, while a bright lemon zest provides a necessary acidic counterpoint to the high residual sugar. At 14% ABV, the warmth is well-integrated, enhancing the richness of the fruit. The experience concludes with a lingering, sweet berry finish that balances honeyed complexity with a crisp citrus lift.

Appearance. Deep, saturated purple-to-ink color with vibrant magenta highlights; brilliant clarity with a lustrous sheen. High viscosity is evident through thick, slow-forming legs on the glass; no head or lacing as is typical for the style.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant aromas of cooked blueberry preserves and floral honey are layered over a base of toasted wheat and honey-graham cracker. A bright, clean lemon zest note provides a refreshing top note, accompanied by a subtle, pleasant ethanol warmth and a hint of vanilla.

Taste. Initial impression is a rich explosion of sweet blueberry juice and wildflower honey. The mid-palate introduces a distinctive bready, graham cracker character with hints of toasted crust. Lemon provides a firm, necessary acidity that balances the significant sweetness and prevents a cloying finish. The aftertaste is long and fruit-forward, featuring tart berry skins and smooth, warming alcohol.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and highly viscous with a luxurious, velvety texture. Carbonation is low to still, contributing to a heavy, dessert-like mouthfeel. Significant alcohol warmth is present but remains smooth and well-integrated without harshness.
