Viking Braggot Freyja
16 oz single can purchased from Lifesource Natural Grocer in Salem OR $4.49 Blond Ale Brewed with Wildflower Honey. Pours a pale gold with a small off white head. That goes fast but leaves pretty lacing. Aromas of straw, sweet honey, and a touch of floral hopping. mmm taste is just normal blond ale then the huge notes of honey come in at the end . Its definably wild flower honey, if you have ever tasted a variety of honeys. The tastes are remarkably different from the regular store bough stuff. Nice mouthfeel. Medium full with lovely carbonation. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Nice beer..not sure if this is really a mead?

More Beer than Mead makes this Braggot a glorified India Pale Ale. Still, always well-made.

Viking Braggot Fenrir
22 oz bottle purchased from Lifesource Natural Grocers in Salem OR $6.99 Very bonny looking drink in the glass dark brown body and small yet solid tan head. Looks great. Nice coffee..dark chocolate aromas..small aspect of honey. Taste similar with a wee bit of ashiness..honey shows in the end..not as sweet as expected..and thats a good thing for me. Mouth feel is excellent..smooth yet light enough to drink fast..plus not cloying due to the ashiness. An interesting drink indeed. I liked it.

Viking Braggot Brother Badger
An "American style Wheat" beer. However, the bartender told me it was inspired by the Mexican Lager.

Viking Braggot Fenrir
Sampled at the brewpub on my honeymoon - It pours dark brown with a tan head. It has a medium body that's on the rough side. The taste has a good amount of roast along with char and woody aspects. There is some honey character that shows on the finish. One of the few braggots here where I could pick out the honey.

Viking Braggot Barrel Aged Alpenglow
Sampled at the brewpub on my honeymoon - What a distinctly different beer than the non-barrel aged version. The bartender said it spent a long time in the barrel and that the recipe had changed a bit - couldn't tell they were the same base at all. This pours hazy orange with a white head. It has a medium smooth body with semi-sharp carbonation. The taste has brett, funk, stone fruit and rich maltiness. Interesting, but can't take a whole lot of this style these days.

Sampled at the brewpub on my honeymoon - It pours reddish amber with an off-white head. It has a medium smooth body with semi-sharp carbonation. The taste is semi-sweet and has the earthy and restrained notes of Irish red ale. There is a bit of rye on the fine. Its fine, but nothing exciting.

Viking Braggot Rune
Sampled at the brewpub on my honeymoon - It pours deep brown with an off-white head. It has a medium husky body with semi-sharp carbonation. The taste is nutty and smooth with light honey and heavy herbal/rustic finish. Seems that either something they do her or the honey addition is adding a real rustic thing to most of the braggots.

Technically not a Mead nor an IPA, this is a Braggot. Tastes of mild hops, like mild salsa. Sampled at The Tap & Growler, Eugene, OR.

Viking Braggot Reverence Red
Bottle, shared by Grippitis and Mike G. This is a dry-hopped version, but probably doesn’t deserve a new listing. Tawny brown with an average beige head. Toasty bready malts and sweet floral honey with a dry finish. Perfectly balanced, extremely enjoyable. Moderate bitterness. The florals really come forward as it warms. Beautiful, surprising.

On tap at the Holiday Ale Fest 2015. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. A big apple and spice nose. Hmm, odd one. Sugar sweet, spices, some heat, ripe apples. Interesting.
