So, when I normally make mead I only make yee old straight up meads.
Thinking of getting some straightforward honey (orange blossom, clover, etc) and make a good fruit mead. But I want to avoid the usual suspects - raspberry, cherry, etc.
What have you guys done that you like? Hell, Bruce if you're reading this - how about a lead on that awesome melon mead you had yesterday at the fest?
Hey Drew,
I've made a kick ass Pomegranate Mead, in fact, I have some finishing up now. When fermented with honey, it mellows the tartness and is always a favorite.

perry mead with cimnnamon was delicious.
you can also try the "monster mead"
FYI.. I went and procured some Sour Cherry juice and poured a dose of that into Tupelo mead. Force carbed the mead - can't wait to see what it's like!
