Description:
Lagertha Mead, crafted from the rare Idaho Snowberry Blossom honey, is as bold and captivating as the legendary shieldmaiden herself. This mead pays homage to Lagertha, the fierce warrior known for her courage, independence, and unwavering strength. Much like her, this mead is crafted from the highlands of Idaho, bringing forth a taste that’s both powerful and enchanting. The honey, sourced from these rugged terrains, delivers a flavor profile rich with cinnamon and a candy-like sweetness that mirrors Lagertha’s dual nature—both fierce and alluring. As the mead evolves on the palate, it deepens into a full-bodied butterscotch finish, symbolizing the strength and determination she displayed on the battlefields of ancient Scandinavia. This richness, balanced with a subtle spice, echoes her spirit—unyielding and bold, yet with an elegance that captured the hearts of allies and enemies alike. The layers of flavor invite you to experience a journey akin to Lagertha’s own: a rise from humble origins to a figure of legend. The cinnamon warmth evokes the fire of her battles, while the candy sweetness reflects the beauty and grace she possessed. The lingering butterscotch notes on the finish are reminiscent of the tales told by firelight, where the shieldmaiden’s victories and sacrifices were recounted with reverence. Lagertha Mead has garnered multiple awards, including 2nd Place at the 2022 Valkyries Horn Commercial Competition and 1st Place at the 2021 America’s Finest City Competition, proving its worth among the finest traditional meads. A sip of this mead transports you to the epic tales of the Viking age, paying tribute to a woman whose name stands as a beacon of strength, resilience, and legacy. Each drop is a celebration of Lagertha’s spirit, inviting you to taste the essence of a true warrior.
