This Ethiopian style is a sweet mead that is made with hops. It pours a light straw yellow and makes many thin slow moving legs. The aroma is honey sweet with a hint of grass and pleasing spice. The body is heavy and the flavor is sweet with a light cinnamon and black pepper tone. The finish comes on with a light acidity but settles down to a lingering sumptuous honey sweetness. The hops do not come on as bitter because they are not boiled (like in a beer) but instead provide the grassy spicy tones that set this mead apart.
