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.

I have to disagree with my friend below here Strange that had a sample from the same bottle I think it was a typical fruit bombed mead Clear golden in the glass and an ok intensity in the aroma Not to sweet and a mild sparkling touch that freshened it up Strawberries, mango and some lemon on a solid honey backbone in the flavor [Bottle at Sørjordet Plaza in Drammen, Norway]

Bottle. A clear one, pouring lighlty oily. Deep golden, still and headless. The aroma is honey driven, though with a caramel touch and a very light flower hint. Vanilla too. It's full-bodied and very lightly warming, still, oily and sweet on the palate, with a honey driven flavor. Caramel, soft cream caramel candy, flowers, lemon notes and vanilla too. Long finish. Sure, it's a nice mead, but a bit too much pure honey driven for me, lacking a bit on depth and richness. 230915

Bottle. A clear, golden mead, still, headless and oily. Lots of strawberry in the aroma, feeling rotten, with some lemon and honey. It's full bodied and soft on the palate, with rotten strawberries dominating the flavor. Lemon and honey, hints of flowers. Medium length finish. Not very good this one, strawberry seems to work equally bad in mead as in beer. 230826
