I love mead, but it's getting harder and harder to find any without added flavors.
I just don't get it. Mead should taste like honey. Why else would you drink it?
When you add flavors to mead, it becomes just another alcohol base.
Mead is mead because of the honey. If you have no interest in the flavor of honey, why drink it?
If you want a flavored alcoholic beverage, you could have flavored white wine or vodka, or heck even pilsner.
Sure, I could brew my own. I brewed beer back in the 90's, and had friends who made wine so I have an idea of the general process and requirements, but I just don't have the time.
Why does everything have to be soda-pop-ified. Don't even get me started on some of the adjuncts added to beer...
Rant over.
