The harmonious blend of mead and beer, known as a Braggot, takes us back to medieval times, dating back as far as the 12th century. To capture that floral honey essence we used a combination of three unique honeys, along with the complexity of the hops, and the addition of chamomile to create this unique Braggot. This whimsical brew has a floral and slightly tart sweetness that gives way to a much awaited honey finish.

650 ml bottle, from Costco, Sacramento, ABV is 7.5%. This braggot appears to be more of a beer than a mead. Golden colour, small white head. Brewed with clover honey, orangeblossom honey and chamomile, with alfalfa honey added (probably after fermentation). Sweetish aroma of honey, orange blossom and chamomile, some alcohol. Fairly sweet flavour, but still rather light bodied for its strength. Honey and chamomile notes. A slight alcohol sting. Very moderate hops. Well worth sampling, but not really my cup of tea.

Pours clear golden with a fairly thick, though effervescent, eggshell head. Aroma has firm honey and malty notes, rather different from other brews I have tried. Mead plus beer? Meer? Bead? Haw, haw, haw. Flavor has a nice balance of honey, malty and hoppy tones, distinctive and enjoyable. Gives me a buzz! (Which is why I am drinking this at home, not when I gotta drive!) Mouthfeel has OK body but more fizz than other meads I have tried thanks to the mating with beer. Catch the buzz - you won’t get stung.
