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?
K1V tasting notes:
Scent: a deep blueberry floral/fruity nose, with a hint of light honey sweetness under it all
Taste: an immediate "warm" blueberry, silky smooth and then the tannins roll over with a nearly spice berry wave of semi-dry blueberry goodness. Tangy, sweet and fruity all throughout, with a bold and nearly dry profile that stays consistently with every sip
14% ABV, 500ml
