The second blend that we pulled out of the black currant mead barrel we received from our friends at Standard Meadery. The blend that went into the barrel included unnamed oak-aged blonde saisons with blueberries as well as a portion of Saison Meer: Gin Barrel Aged. Blueberries up front with some faint herbal and citrus notes, finishing with a touch of honey and some earthiness from the black currants. Note that as with our first Barrel #34 release, a few cases will make their way over to Standard Meadery for them to serve at their tasting room in Villa Park.

Clear body that is a color between ruby red and violet, off-white cap. Sweet blueberry and black currant with wild funk, floral yeast, honey, and oak in the nose. Taste adds some citrus zest and dry herbs. Feel has a acidity that detracts, but sour oak and wild culture carry nicely. First blend was far superior
