This is a mead, not a beer.

The honey and the fruit make it mead.

It ain’t beer unless it has hops and at least a little bit of some kind of malted grain. Once it has those two requirements, they can throw in anything they please and still call it beer...even fruit and honey.

Actually mead is brewed from honey only. Adding fruit makes it a pyment.

This is a mead, not a beer.

Wasn't mead the drink of the gods? Apparently folks thought highly of it way back when.
