Before beer there was… Mead.
Oh my, this is good. Mead is one of the original fermented beverages and Trafalgar has put their own spin on it. Trafalgar’s Braggot Mead blends hops and malt with fermented honey, producing a mead that is amazing. Starting with a crisp aroma reminiscent of white wine, the first notes are hoppy like a beer and the traditional honey mead cleans the palate as it finishes. Did I mention this is good?
The Process
I wanted to show case the warm tones of the clay bottle so I used a simple Black/White point adjustment Curve, applied an ‘S’ curve to the composite histogram to up the contrast. Some Dodging on the label to open the colours and a final curve to blow out the background.
