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.

Klar rød med minimalt hvitt skum. Lukter og smaker bringebær og honning. Noe friskere i smak enn aroma. Kort.

Bottle. It's more or less clear in the glass, yellowish golden in color, with some white bubbles around the rim of the glass. The aroma is fruity and spiced, some honey in the back, with ginger and lime juice and a good dash of pineapple. It's medium bodied and dryish on the palate, with a honey flavor and honey sweetness in the back. Some honeycomb, but mostly it's fruits and ginger. A slight ginger burn show up between the pineapple and lime juice. Long ginger and fruit finish with some honey in the very end. A refreshing one, easy drinkable too, but a bit too much on the ginger side for me. 180820
