Commercial Description:
English: The oldest known recipe for mead to be written down in the Nordic countries was in 1520 by the Archbishop Olaus Magnus. The recipe comprised of water, honey, hops and brewers yeast, and concludes, that "on the eight day - or earlier in emergencies - the mead may be drunk, but the longer it is left, the purer, better and healthier it will be." Our products are brewed based on a recipe from about year 1700, and the ingredients are pure and 100 pct. natural - guaranteed free from additives of any kind. Honey is the major and most important item in the recipe.

An orange mead with no head. The aroma is dominated by honey but also with notes of rosehips and berries. The flavor is very sweet with strong accents of alcohol, honey, and rosehips. The alcohol runs over the tongue and burns slightly in the throat.

It’s my first Mjød, and it will not be easy to adapt my beer criteria...
Clean, deep yellow color, like the sun ->4
Mellow aroma, very light fruity and Madeira wine, but with something chemical; then this aroma turns out to be similar to heather and other herbs; probably it has lost some freshness, as the bottle has been opened some time ago... The aroma is deep but not fully convincing ->5
Syrupy alcohol, could be pleasant for a lover of sweet wines like me (Sauternes, Picolit, Vendanges tardives...), but still this chemical character... Anyway, it’s not only sweet, it’s a bit compensated by some acidity and bittered by the herbs; it would be better if fruitier ->6
Interesting final, mixing the sweetness with the heather ->4
