About
All Superior Lakes Mead is handcrafted using the finest of ingredients. We use raw Michigan honey, straight from the beekeeper and just like our fruit most of it’s direct from Michigan farms.
"To make a quality mead, you need a have a quality honey — a pure, raw honey."
We craft our award winning mead in small batches allowing us to pay special attention to each during the wine making process. Our “Limited Release”s are produced once a year and in very small amounts so get them while you can.

Really damn nice. Medium honey sweetness with moderate floral/citrus hops, light cinnamon/cocoa spice, and slight vanilla. Great balance. --- Beer merged from original tick of Superior Lakes Zerker on 11 Jun 2015 at 20:23 - Score: 8. Original review text:

Bottle received as extra in trade. Thank you lionsandbeer! Pours bluish ruby red with no head and prominent legs. Smell is fruity with high quality honey, blueberries, moist soil, moss and alcohol. Taste is slightly sweet, fruity, slightly herbal and tiny spicy with honey, blueberries, moist soil, moss, lemon balm, spearmint, alcohol and lemon zest. Mouthfeel is round, tart, tannic astringent, slightly boozy and medium bodied. Finish is tiny sweet, slightly sour, fruity, earthy and herbal with honey, blueberries, moist soil, alcohol, spearmint and lemon peal. Quite vinous and tart. I like it but a bit hard to drink. --- Beer merged from original tick of Superior Lakes Blueberry Melody on 02 Mar 2018 at 12:03 - Score: 7
