Moretum is een pyment: een mede op basis van druivensap en honing, in plaats van water en honing. Naast tal van specerijen werden aan de basispyment ook nog een scheepslading bramen toegevoegd, wat zorgt voor een smaakexplosie. Moretum is heerlijk als hij gekoeld is, maar experimenteer ook eens door hem ’s winters bij het houtvuur op te warmen en er een schep bosvruchten en een kaneelstok of wat allspice aan toe te voegen…

Pours very clear red. Smell reminds me of toilet perfume. Taste is full, sharp, but the toilet perfume aspect really throws me way off, making this one - unlike all their other stuff I had so far - very unpleasant to me. Apparenlty this is a love or hate mead, where many of the ingredients can indeed be found in toilet perfume, hence the connection my brain made. i'm definately not a part of the love group though.

Light flamingo red, clear fluid with some transparent bubbles. Spicy, herbs, pharmaceutical, but also raspberry. Sweet, if nowhere cloying. Again faint herbs, balanced. Fruity, but less easily recognisable. Light, not sticky, certainly for a mead. Nice, like it!

Clear red-ruby liquid. Rosewater in force, hint at mop-Brett - like, lychee, soap-y. rosewater, orangeblossom, red fruit. Whiff of lemon. Finish is dry. Medium bodied, just a bit slick. Very surprising style, very perfumed seen the rosepetals are added. Not my usual remark, but this would be excellent cooled, or even with ice, and a bit of limejuice.
