Ren Mjød is brewed exclusively with pure honey. The best and most flavorful late summer honey is used here, as well as a small amount of linden or heather honey.
Summer’s blossoms add a light flavor to the mead, with fine nuances of bitter substances from the honey’s unique terroir.
This is the brewer’s “kitchen mead”, which, in addition to its classic and pure mead taste, is perfect for use in the kitchen when making dressings, marinades, etc.
Ingredients: Water, Danish honey, yeast. Guidance 16% alcohol

Description
Pure mead
Pure mead has, as its name suggests, a very pure taste and smell of honey, it has a fine balance between sweetness and acidity and a nutty bitter note that balances the sweetness. It has a long aftertaste, in which the pure honey sweetness emerges more and fills the mouth for a long time. We put this mead on our large oak dish, so that the storage will be extra nice for this mead.
When we brew pure mead, there is full focus on putting together a honey base, which is so flavorful and strong in its expression, that the honey will give the mead a good and strong taste experience. When we choose the late summer honey, it varies from year to year, which meadow, marsh or plantation we get the honey from.
We find the exciting thing about making pure mead is the opportunity it gives our mead to bring out its very personal terroir.
Serving suggestions
In combination with food, it is definitely a sweet mead, therefore desserts will be the most obvious partner for the mead, the intense sweetness makes Ren Mjød obvious together with cakes and desserts based on honey, vanilla and/or caramel such as creme brûlée, pain d’ epice/gingerbread and panna cotta.
In addition, honey sweetness works eminently for sharp cheeses which can often be difficult to match with wine; blue molds of all kinds, camembert, epoisses, Munster, goat’s cheese and aged cheese will all be in really good company with Ren Mjød.
Glass
The pure mead can be enjoyed in most types of glass without the taste or aroma being radically altered, but port wine or tulip glasses which emphasize its sweetness are preferable.
