How do you serve your meads?

[Maylar]

Chilled? Room temp? Over ice? With a slice of orange?

Just curious.

I have thus far made 3 different meads. The ones that have white wine characteristics seem better chilled, I have an Oaked blueberry melomel tha is nice at room temperature, as it has red wine characteristics. Alas, I do not know the "recommended" way to serve.

Room temperature, here.

Depends.....typically chilled....my wife likes the sparkling melo-hydromels over ice, for some reason. The oaked ginger habanero (still aging in 3 gallon carboy, but sampled) is awesome cold... Have no aversion to ambient temp mead if it's still, but definitely chilled if sparkling

I like to drink and serve them chilled, I think they are judged at room temp though.

For me it depends on the mead (kind of like wine). If it is a super dry mead, I tend to serve at room temperature. The sweeter it is, the colder I will serve. Haven't done a sparkling mead yet but would also serve those chilled regardless of sweetness.

Fruity meads are usually lightly chilled while straight meads are usually at room temp

Room temp or lightly chilled, depending on what type it is.
