A blend of premium Tasmanian honey, apples and cloves, cinnamon resulting in a rich luscious creamy Honey Mead. Unlike many Meads our mead is not excessively sweet, but well balanced with apple and spices and delicious after dinner.
100% Preservative and additive free. Long life is achieved by the 18% alc/vol.
The original 'Ale' was brewed from honey and the word is derived from Old Norse ('Ol'), through to the Old English ('Ealu') and Scandinavian ('Aylu'). Honey Ale (a form of mead) can claim origins as far back as pre-historic times, a drink enjoyed by many different cultures. Taverner's has combined the flavours of honey and hops to recreate the taste of the original Ale. Both Mead Ales are self carbonated by a second fermentation process in the bottle.
The meads we produce do vary from year to year depending on the availability of honey from local beekeepers. Production also is dependent of the weather as this affects the nectar flows for the bees and thus the honey available. For this reason production of some meads will be limited and only being available for a short period of time. It must be remembered that our meadmaker will not release our meads until they are in peak condition.
