Ordinarily, I am not a fan of small, quick, light meads meant to be beer-like. But when you make it a pepper mead, well that is a nice exception. Ordinarily, a pale, not that sweet, more watery, beer alternative mead is a waste of my time. But add a nice pepper flavor and a decent burn, to the sweet, pear-like flavor, and its doable. The mango isn’t particularly present but the peppers, as intended, is the spotlight player.
