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.

500ml bottle from Mikkeller webshop. Pours red in colour with a pink foam head and aroma of spice & sweet cherry. Taste is cherry, candy, honey, sweetish and dry tangy, with notes of floral hop and spice. Syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, dry lightly tannic finish. Interesting, very drinkable.

Bottle received in trade. Thanks Brandon! Pours sparkling deep red with a small fizzy pinkish white head that quickly dissipated without leaving any trace on the glass. Smell is fruity and slightly grassy with honey, grapefruit juice, sour cherries, unripe mango, freshly cut grass, pine needles, minerals, kumquats and lemon zest. Taste is tiny sweet, tiny bitter and slightly sour with honey, sour cherries, grapefruit juice, lime juice, pomegranate, red currants, freshly cut grass, pine needles, moist soil, kumquats and lemon zest. Mouthfeel is soft, very tiny sparkling, tart, slightly fruit skin astringent and medium bodied. Finish is tiny bitter and sour with honey, sour cherries, pomegranate, grapefruit juice, lime juice, freshly cut grass, pine needles, moist soil, kumquats and lemon zest. What a lovely tasty refreshingly tart session mead with an unique and amazing hop bite. Would have loved to have easy access to fresh bottles of this... --- Beer merged from original tick of B.
