Blueberry mead. If you know Maniacal, you already know this uses 100% real blueberry and is packed full of flavor.
Mead details:
You've asked for it, and now this mead is finally back.
We get the intense blueberry flavor by using hundreds of pounds of whole blueberries and blueberry juice concentrate, and we add in local Wildflower honey from Dexter, Michigan.
After fermentation is complete we let the mead age on the whole blueberries for a few months until we pull them out. We then grind them up, press them, and add the fermented juice back in.
For this batch of Blueberry Bird we wanted to do a fun experiment and try out a couple different yeasts to compare flavors. We did 2 batches exactly the same, but with 2 different yeasts. One with K1-V116, and ICV-D47.
Which do you like the best?
D47 tasting notes:
Scent: a more yeasty/bread-like start that mixes with a blueberry fruit smell. Not dissimilar to a blueberry muffin. A more tannic note in there too
Taste: immediately hits you with a semi-dry blueberry spice, where the spice is an eager debut of well balanced tannins. Any hint of a yeast note implication from the nose is silenced by a decadent profile of warm blueberry fruit notes
14% ABV, 500ml
