Description
Na twee jaar experimenteren, twee colabs met “The Blacksmith’s Meadery” uit Schilde en als kers op de taart twee gouden medailles op de European Mead Madness Cup (categorie hobby medemakers) in 2020 is de douchekamer echt te klein geworden en pakken we het iets groter aan. We komen eindelijk professioneel naar buiten met onze medes als medebedrijf. Inderdaad, wegens plaatsgebrek en de hoge financiele kosten om zelf een mederij uit de grond te stampen ga/mag ik de mede bij de Blacksmith’s Meadery maken.

Utterly clear, still, metallic golden liquid - liquid gold, really. Surprising flavour! Hint of biological solvent, rainwater, old vats with forgotten apples, amyl acetate or other apple-esters as butyl acetate - the honey. Sweet, Dutch Kletskopjes (glazed hard cookies with pindas), hint of cinnamon. Finish is, however, sweet, dry in feel going almost to dry-out effect. Light, oily, viscous and dangerously drinkable. Interesting metheglin variation. The apples are almost hidden, yet traceable;

Pours a beautifull dark redpink. Scent is intense, cherry (candy). Taste is full, rather sweetn gentle balance, loud on the cherry. Not a bomb to me, but great to pair with deserts - to make them more vibrant and light.

Pours an intense gold-copper. Scent is full, intense, strawberry jam. Taste is full, heavy on the strawberry. Full on, mild mead base, not overly sweet though. Lovely - but to my own taste it could have used more sweetness.

Pours clear, medium light yellow. Scent is the most gentle of the 3 versions tried. Taste is full, fairly sweet. Mildest apple flavor of the 3 . Subtile balance, I kinda miss the acidity and/or spices from the other versions.

Pours clear, light pale yellow. Scent is gentle, much more complex than the 'base' one ( d'upigny) aromatic apple, soapy comes to mind, but for once as a positive aspects. Fresh and floral apple. Taste is full, apple again fairly subtile, floral and bright. More intense and straight forward towards the end.

Pours clear, very light pale yellow. Scent is fairly mild, apple. Taste is full, fairly sweet, apple, very candy like. Mild malic acid - hidden beneath the honey sweetness but providing great balance.
