Pours clear gold with no head or carbonation. Aroma smells a lot like white wine - flowery, pepper, citric, and grapes. Flavor a bit tart apple and grape. Nice, more tart mead.

Golden color wit decent legs. Aroma has some nice wildflower honey, apple, and agave-desert scents. Flavor has a nice OB/wildflower honey tang with some floral and light fruit notes. Nice mouthfeel that surprises. Not fantastic, but pretty good for a semi-dry mead. Went very well with chicken!

Appearance: Pours out a clear, still burnished gold body. Nice legs! Smell: Clear-cut agave aspect with distinct cidery notes and only a very subtle honey scent. Taste: Smooth agave flavor along the lines of a finer reposado. Very minimal sweetness. Any honey flavor remains subtle. Again, there are those notes of apple cider. Sharp, though manageable alcohol bite. More mellow, smoked spice agave flavor on the exceptionally dry finish. Mouthfeel: Still, medium body. Drinkability: Certainly different, but I’ve come to the reality that I prefer sweet meads. Still, it would be fun to try and work into a margarita.

starting to develop legs, aroma starts with a lot of alcohol but after breathing it turns sweet with just a hint of hot spicy alcohol, flavor is staying dry and spicy,

Pours a clear dark golden bronze with decent legs. Aroma of complex sweet honey and some floral notes. Body starts a little thin, and has a good honey sweetness, drying towad a slightly more bitter agave finish. A fairly interesting and drinkable mead.
