Which term describes a mead that includes fruit?

A mead with fruit is called melomel. Mead is fermented honey wine, and when fruit or fruit juice is added, it shifts into the fruit-flavored category known as melomel, giving a distinct fruit-forward character. This distinguishes it from plain mead, braggot (honey-wine with malt and often hops), or perry (pear cider), which don’t specifically describe a honey-based beverage with fruit.
