This mead is the Non-Imperial version of our Imperial Funky Monky. A smaller mead, but big on flavor. Tart Balaton cherries, honey, and Styrian Golding hops.

Clear red appearance. Aroma of scented candles and cherry syrup. Pot pourri from a stately home. Weird herbal spicy taste

Straight cherry juice, mellow though, not overly tart or fruity or sour.

On tap at B. Nektar, pours a clear dark red, no head. Nose is full of the hops upfront, with subdued cherries and gentle wildflower notes. Flavour somehow managed to marry the hops and cherries pretty well, with lots of wildflower honey. The hops still aren't that welcome, obscuring the cherry and honey. It's definitely good for what it is; I just don't think there's much potential for such a thing (i.e., a hopper cherry session mead).

Tap @ Mikkeller and Friends. Pours deep dark ruby red. Aromas of cherry soap, sweet honey, some light floral notes, light cherry tartness. Taste is slightly hoppy but mostly sour cherries, honey, soap. Soapiness is pretty offputting, sadly.

Pours a clear garnet from a bottle. Bit of a sour cherry aroma. Cherry flavor, sweet and syrupy, not my thing.

Vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2017-05 getrunken. Ein Met mit Balaton Kirchen also! Hmmm - echt spannend und gefährlich süffig. Die Kirschen gleichen den Honig sehr gut aus, so dass dieser hier nicht süß sondern immer noch leicht sauer daherkommt. Lecker!
