This medium-dry metheglin is fermented by Montrachet yeast, flavoured with juniper berries and made from a mix of orange blossom and desert blossom honey.
Presentation: Cobalt-blue flip-top bottle. Pours a clear light gold. 12% ABV.
Nose: Caramel and fresh honey sweetness, some generic fruit and more honey.
Taste: Starts with a clear semi-sweet floral honey taste, progressing to a juniper-influenced middle and a short, dry, slightly spicy finish.
Overall: Excellent. Not too sweet, well-balanced, with just the right amount of juniper.

Dec 3, 2008 Aroma: Strong honey with pine needle / juniper and apple. Hazy gold yellow pour with suspended particles. Sweet. Honey predominate up front with a dryer, piney finish. Alcohol is present as well as citrus. Good.

Nov 30, 2008 Pours light yellow with no carbonation. taste is dry and sweet of honey and juniper berries (imagine that). Very smooth - if a bit thin - mouthfeel. Alcohol is dangerously well-hidden. Much lighter than beer and that makes it a welcolmed change of pace for me. Also, you can drink tons of this stuff and still feel fine the next morning.

Aug 26, 2008 A light golden mead. The aroma is sweet with light notes of both honey and juniper berries. The flavor is sweet only with notes of honey to start off with, but then the juniper berries hit the palate.

Jul 14, 2008 Bottle, courtesy Tony at Oldsmar Tap House. Clear golden pour, no head or lacing. Bright honey aromas, sugary sweet, brown sugar, pears. Sweet honey flavors, some distant citrus, fairly tasty. Sweet but not offputting, good for dessert I suppose. Can’t drink too much of it, though.
