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.

Tap @ Røør, Oslo. Pours nice amber - darker golden, transparent and without much of a foam. Nose has some honeycomb, honey notes are strong, feels as this honey they used was darker, more intense in flavour - and maybe not that sweet. A bit of sweetness in the taste, clearly honey in the background, drying out in the finish, leaving some creamy wax character lingering. Natural flavours, can't really pinpoint any adjuncts. Super smooth and alcohol is nowhere to be felt. Relatively dry body, is not so sweet and sticky as are some meads I have tried.
