1634 Meadery Strawberry Fields

Strawberry Fields by 1634 Meadery is a captivating exploration of local Massachusetts flavors, crafted with mounds of fragrant, ripe strawberries that define its character. This mead offers a vivid taste experience, with the berry's natural brightness taking center stage and conjuring images of sun-dappled strawberry fields and the vibrant festivities of early summer. A carefully measured addition of cinnamon introduces a subtle warmth that gently lingers on the palate, enhancing the overall complexity of the flavor profile. With an ABV of 12.5%, Strawberry Fields is a semi-sweet mead that strikes a harmonious balance between the tartness of the strawberries and the rich sweetness of honey, which has been thoughtfully back-sweetened to achieve this equilibrium. This makes it a versatile choice for a variety of occasions. For those who wish to savor its nuanced flavors, it is best served chilled in a wine glass, where its aromatic bouquet can be fully appreciated. As the mead opens up, the interplay of fruit and spice becomes more pronounced, making each sip a delightful discovery. While Strawberry Fields shines when enjoyed neat, its dynamic flavors also lend themselves well to inventive cocktails. Consider pairing it with a splash of sparkling water and a twist of lemon for a refreshing spritzer, or mixing it into a summer sangria with fresh seasonal fruits to enhance its fruity essence. When it comes to food pairings, this mead complements a variety of dishes, particularly those with a touch of sweetness or spice, such as grilled pork with a honey glaze or a cinnamon-infused dessert. Whether enjoyed on its own or as part of a creative culinary pairing, Strawberry Fields offers a taste of Massachusetts craftsmanship that is both inviting and distinctive.
