A mead made with a portion of malted barley is known as?

• A. Braggot
• B. Mead
• C. Melomel
• D. Perry

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is how adding grains to a mead changes its name. When malted barley or other grains are included with honey during fermentation, the beverage is called braggot. Braggot blends elements of both mead and beer, reflecting the use of malt in addition to honey and sometimes hops. This distinguishes it from other options: melomel is mead with fruit, perry is pear cider, and plain mead uses only honey, water, and yeast. So, a mead made with malted barley is known as braggot.
