Red Berry Mead
Old Mother Ludlam, the Wytch of Frensham, was faced with a dilemma when the Devil sneaked into her brewery and stole her precious cauldron. Determined to reclaim what was rightfully hers, she embarked on a daring mission to retrieve her brewing pot.
Through her cunning and magical prowess, she managed to outwit the Devil and snatch back her beloved cauldron. Knowing the Devil would not rest until he found it again, Mother Ludlam sought a safe place to hide it, the Frensham Church, where it rests today.
We now brew Mother Ludlam’s favourite mead, in honour of her fortitude and skill in winning her cauldron back. Fermented with dark cherries, strawberries, raspberries and honey, this mead is only for the stout of heart. Beware the Wytch’s Brew!

Can from 7000 Jars, Kingston. A hazy blood orange red. Foamy white head quickly retreats to the rim. Aroma has sour berries with a sweet edged. The flava is then less sour then I was expecting. It's actually rather sweet. Ribena-esque, with added peripheral sourness and underlying sugar. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Enjoyable. And 7.5%, yet it more like a slightly aggressive Ribena. But not because the cordial to water ratio is wonky. And that's the thing that confuses me... enoyable but more cordial than mead.
