Description

Tyr’s Mead is a fresh and floral mead with very pleasant citrus notes. Brewed as a wild-ferment, no yeast is added, and the fermentation instead proceeds based on natural yeasts already present in the ingredients. A variant on Freya’s Mead, this mead is fermented using Vitex honey and Ukrainian wildflower honey as well as orange juice. While the honeys used make this mead quite floral, the wild fermentation and gentle tang from the oranges give this mead the air of a light and sweet white wine.

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.
