There is a surprising amount of tartness to balance the sweetness. Refreshing and no alcohol tastes. One of the better meads that I have had.

Bottle Shared at Ryan & Max’s Tasting @ Pauls. I wouldn’t have guessed this was a mead. Pours a slightly hued transparent water y body with a thin bubbly lacing. Pine sap and bark is all i get in the aroma. Malty cider with pine, and a hint of fruit, but i’m not sure what exactly. No honey, this was an odd ball.

Bottle at Paul’s tasting. Pours a hazy light white to yellow. Really odd aromas, the smell reminds me exactly of a new vacuum cleaner. Plastic, pine needles, rubber. Weird fermented fruit. Tastes like fruit cocktail, pineapple, cherries, and pears, with carbonation. Finishes up with a light sweetness.

This tastes entirely of Honey! Some meads you can’t really taste it, but this one is my favorite!

750mL bottle. Pale yellow gold color, thin film of white head. Tart, estery aroma. Heavy apricot flavor, with pear and apple. Reserved sweetness. Sharp finish with prominent yeast character. Mouthfeel is a light medium, somewhat dry.

Effervescent pale yellow with a sweet fruity aroma. Taste is of fruits, honey, very light on the tongue.

On tap at The Shepherd and Knucklehead. Pours a light golden in color with zero head. It is very light and fruity - the apricot adds a nice fruit character to the honey flavor. The mouthfeel of this is almost still. I could drink this mead all day.
