Well, it looks kinda like beer but it has some similarity with wine in how it come to. Traditional mead is made out of honeyjust as wine is made out of grapes. but since the honey takes its taste from what the bees collect you're never quite sure what plants are parts of the mix. then you let honey ferment, add some water. Some other meads add other spices or berries to vary the taste. Then there is the mixture between traditional mead and beer called Mölska, (i think it is called Braggot in english). Overall the mead i'm drinking is slightly sweeter than beer, not as bitter as some beers are. Also it does not foam as much. Its boozecontent can very from the rather mild 4-5% to the extremely strong 24%. In the nordic mythology there is a goat (Heidrun) from whose teats there is an endless supply of firstrate mead for the fallen warriors in Valhall. The oldest written evidence for mead is in Rigveda (ca 1100 bc) in India but there is proof that they made a meadlike product in China at 7000 bc. The taste, in the end, depends on what you add to the traditional basic which is honey and water and let it ferment. ,But it is good. Do try it at least.
