Description
About Mjøderiet:

Behind Mjøderiet stands five firefighters from Bergen with a passion for mead - an ancient cultural drink that has only in the last few years begun to return to Nordic palates.

With backgrounds as home brewers and beer enthusiasts at various levels, we at Mjøderiet have ambitions to revitalize mead in Norway. We believe Norwegians are ready to take part in the international development where mead has made a comeback in several countries. We think mead is insanely exciting and is a drink with great potential.

Mjøderiet wants to spread knowledge about mead, revive the classic styles and experiment with new and exciting flavors. We want to have a foot in the old mead tradition and one in the new craft brewery culture, where we experiment with fruits and spices, different alcoholic strengths and different levels of carbonic acid.

The meeting room will have diversity.
We want quality, and genuine passion for precious drops.
For painstakingly collected honey from diligent bees. For real fruits and berries, for flavorful herbs and spices. And of course for exciting and unique flavor combinations.

We want to meet the people.

7/10
Bottle, 25cl. A gentle one, not too much honey, not too much alcohol. Herbal, with some scents of aged hard cheese like parmesan. White goat cheese hints and a nice fruityness. Some flowery, forest-like hints. Lemony hints in the very end. Not my favorite clean mead, but I'm confident it would pair well with some cheese and perhaps dried fruit. 646414 260219

7.5/10
Bottle, 25cl. Fruityness, alcohol, honey, spiced notes and some oak and booze. Raspberry, blackberry, bourbon, sweetness. Full-bodied, not too sweet, and quite complex. Still, I think it's a bit too gentle on the berry profile, or too heavy on the berries if the honey should shine more than berries. Really nice anyway, and the alcohol is quite well hidden, would never have guessed 15% ABV. 747415 251207

6.5/10
Bottle, 25cl. Crystal clear candy red, still. Distinct strawberry aroma, feels kind of artificial. Probably due to the honey and perhaps the flower addition. Gentle boozy hints, some wood notes. Honey all the way, but playing second fiddle. Think I like it, not sure though. But I'd love to find out how this pairs with cherry ice cream, or perhaps with vanilla ice cream and cherry sauce. 646414 251205
