Style Information

The Fruit Melomel is a mead that contains fruit. A specific example of this is a mead that is fermented with grape juice called a pyment. The color can range widely, depending on the fruit used in the brewing process. The aroma can vary in sweetness and strength, with a distinct honey and fruit character. The fruit notes should obviously follow the fruit used in brewing, with tartness/acidity only apparent if the underlying fruit shows a similar quality. The taste can vary in character based on the fruit and honey flavor. Sweetness and acidity varies based on the fruit used. The fruit flavor should also not be artificial or otherwise overpowering. The feel should be similar to mead or even wine. The fruit used should dictate the acidity and overall impression.
