Description

Ægir’s Mead is a medium-sweet mead where tea and concentrated orange juice have been added to the fermentation. The combination of these two ingredients provides the mead with a more substantial mouthfeel and a pleasant fruity tang, complimenting the sweetness and aroma of the honey and resulting in a more “full” flavour. This mead can stand as a hearty accompaniment to cheeses, but also has more than enough character to be a stand-alone drink, albeit one that is DANGEROUSLY more-ish.

The meads from the Lancashire Mead Company are probably best described as classic meads, with sweet and straightforward flavour profiles. They also tend to have a slight winelike “funk” that no doubt stems from close proximity to more experimental wild fermentations. While usually not strongly aromatic, they sit very pleasantly on the tongue and have both a mellowness and depth that make them extremely moreish. As such they are best enjoyed alongside cheeses or desserts that can serve as a contrast or a compliment to the sweetness of the mead, while also helping to prevent an entire bottle from “accidentally” vanishing.
