Notes

This is an attempt to recreate what I always imagined the frothing golden liquor that you see in Viking shows and movies to be. They call it "mead" but it looks like an ale of sorts, golden in color with some haze and a thick white head. It is clearly quaffable and moreish, unlike traditional mead, but is more indulgent and luxurious then an ale.

This is in no way intended to be historically accurate. This is simply a recreation of a drink as seen in my minds eye (or mouth in this case).
