Mango mead with black pepper added.
Many years ago, a mysterious book was discovered by a group of friends in a Ferndale, MI basement. A translation of its contents revealed the recipe for an ancient beverage using mango juice, honey, and black pepper. What they didn’t realize was that creating the beverage had dire consequences. Stricken by fear after its compleation, the friends tried to contain the terrifying forces into this very bottle. Once opened, however, no one can say for sure if it can be conquered.

14-05-17 // draft at Alus Celle, Riga. Clear golden mead, no head. I really dont know yet how do properly describe a mead, but this one was absolutely stunning. Loads of honey sweetness, some fruitiness, little spice. I need more.

Sampled at Brody’s. Clear watery light yellow, flat. Notes of honey, floral, light citrus, mango, papaya or some other tropical fruit, sweet raspberries and with a very soft pepper spiciness, barely perceptible at first. Very lightly carbonated. Damn good. --- Beer merged from original tick of B. Nektar Necromangocon on 27 Apr 2017 at 21:39 - Score: 8

500 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 6%. Extremely pale yellow colour, very moderate carbonation, small and shortlived white head.Aroma of honey, cider, mango and flowers. Ciderish mouthfeel, not overly sweet, notes of honey, apples, mango and black pepper. A nice but moderate pepper burn in the aftertaste. Not bad at all.

At a festival. Clear color. some carbonation. Much more honey and yeast character than the previous beverage. medium sweet but I do not taste mango or black pepper, but there is fruit I cannot specifically identify. I like the carbonation on the palate.

Bottle. Clear yellow-colden color with small soda head that goes down quickly. Visible sparkly carbonation. Aroma is roses, pepper, mango and apples, with a delicate honey note. Taste is apples and mango, with a pepper flavour (but not really the spiciness), again a delicate honey flavour, and an amazingly refreshing palate due to the slightly fizzy carbonation. Thirst-quenching, with enough complexity and very tasty. It is sweet, but not overpowering, the pepper and the carbonation balance it out and keep it refreshing. A very impressive "light and sparkly" Mead (although it tastes more like a fruited & peppered Cyser), this one would be a perfect summer drink. The only reason this cracks the 4 is the appearance, but what do you expect from a light sparkling mead?

Fra flaske på Mi2 Cardinal nov-16: luter og smaker honning, never, bjørkeskudd og har i tillegg et snev av pepper. Klar lys, nesten fargeløs og så og si uten skum. Svært delte meninger rundt bordet om denne.
