While Cyser combines sparkling mead and [traditional scrumpy cider](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inchs-cider) for a sweet honey-apple flavor, the Sparkling Mead is said to have light notes of honey and a delicate fizz. Sara Walters, Lyme Bay Winery’s national account manager, notes: “These new products appeal to younger consumers that are focused on discovery, interesting new flavors and, often, [lower alcohol levels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cornish-orchards-peach-apple).

To make the most of these crisp, clean and refreshing flavors, consumers are advised to enjoy these new canned mead products chilled.
