COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
English: The oldest known recipe for mead to be written down in the Nordic countries was in 1520 by the Archbishop Olaus Magnus. The recipe comprised of water, honey, hops and brewers yeast, and concludes, that "on the eight day - or earlier in emergencies - the mead may be drunk, but the longer it is left, the purer, better and healthier it will be." Our products are brewed based on a recipe from about year 1700, and the ingredients are pure and 100 pct. natural - guaranteed free from additives of any kind. Honey is the major and most important item in the recipe.

yngwie (10760) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - JUN 24, 2012
Bottle, 75cl ceramic. A clear, dark golden mead, oily and still. Quite alcoholic nose with a healthy dose of honey. Some flowery notes. Warming, full-bodied and oily on the palate, with honey flavors dominating. Quite heathery, with some generic flower notes. Really long lasting warming finish. A nice one indeed, but way too alcoholic. 120624

Bottle at fermentation. Pale gold pour and obviously no head. Nose of honey, booze and ginger. Syrupy sweet taste with ginger zing and some booze. Not too bad.
