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.

Currant and funk nose, lambicky. Clear sparkling ruby brown. Tangy and intense. Honey sweetness, currant and black cherry tartness, very nice combination. Slightly vinous. Medium body, alcohol barely noticeable, light for a mead. Damn near quaffable. Lambic is to beer as this is to mead. Wonderful!

Bottle pours with a copper sort of ruby red glowing body. The aroma offers up nice rich honey sweetness that has a touch of waxiness along with smooth sugar sweetened cinnamon. The taste is smooth and sweet with a terrific mix of honey smooth sweet goodness, rich nectar like cherry fruitiness and modest sweetened cinnamon notes. It ends with a nice drying sensation. Love this.

Bottle, poured a dark ruby color, clear, with a very small bubble head that disappears almost immediately. Aroma is lots of cherries, some light berries. Flavor was nice berry and cherry - touch of earthy hops. Pretty easy to drink for those who like cherries.

Half liter bottle from Beer Run, opened 11/3/13. Pours a clear dark ruby color with a thin fizzy tan head that actually sticks around a bit. Mild floral, perfume aroma with a tart cherry finish. The taste is fruit punch.. tart cherries with pineapple, tropical fruits. Mild hoppiness. Medium bodied. Interesting.
