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.

vyvvy (3225) - Florissant, Missouri, USA - FEB 18, 2007
Pours yellow / gold with no head. the aroma has honey, lots of alcohol warmth, ginger and lightly floral. Full body with a good bit of velvety sweetness. The taste starts with honey and a thickness that has a different feel from the barley malt beverages I’m used to, but it is very nice. The finish has slick sweetness and a clean ginger taste. The alcohol is present, but for 19% it is very well masked and this is a pleasant beverage to sip on. This is my first mean and it is a winner. I look forward to trying others.

Gr0ve (2038) - Oslo, NORWAY - JUL 26, 2006
Bottle, Københavnske Øldage 2006. Golden and clear. Really strong alcohol aroma. Sweet honey aromas. Spices are noticeable, but hard to detect/identify. Unfortunately it is way to high in alcohol content and aroma to be appreciated.

sunevdj (2737) - Copenhagen OE, DENMARK - MAY 23, 2006
Bottle at Københavnske Øldage 2006. My first mead. Pours a clear dark yellow, no head. Very sweet and slightly fruity. Strong aromas of alcohol. Mildly portlike. Fruity and warming alc finish. Not really a festival thing... more for a quiet evening in front of the fire place after a day of raping and pillaging.
