Dry mead brewed with bog myrtle and 5% lingonberry juice. The northerly meager tastescape of a bog is introduced by the refreshing sour and bitter aromas of lingonberry and myrtle. On tongue they pick up some residual sweetness from honey that enriches the bittersweet bog myrtle experience, with a sparky dry lingonberry finish.

500mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out fermented out honey with medium sweetness, with light floral notes. Flavour is very light, with fermented out honey, with a touch of wildflower honey sweetness remaining. Floral and dry, with little body. Thin and easy drinking, but not much to it.

Bottled (thanks suurjuust)
Hazy pinky colour, not much head. Strawberry, cranberry aroma. Light-bodied. Watery, a bit fizzy even. Cranberries, white wine. Dry finish. Not honey here, feels like American mead.

Tap at Kaapse. Clear honey golden with rosé touch. Thin white head. Sweet malts, honey, berries, forest strawberry, very light rosemary and herbal notes. I love these LARP fantasy witches brews from Labietis! Moderate sweet and bitter, medium dry, soft carbonation. --- Beer merged from original tick of Purva Medus (Bog Honey) on 08 May 2018 at 17:33 - Score: 7

Pours unclear blonde. Smell is colliding honey and ginger. Taste is carbonated, dry at start, tart, sticky rough znding, some honey, some ginger. Not a fan.
