Mead is an ancient wine that predates written language. From the mountains of West Virginia, our seasonal honey and spring water combine to produce this traditional sweet drink. This mead is produced with honey from the nectar-laden flowers of Basswood trees and aged two years before bottling. Sweet dreams of honey filled streams!

Refrigerated 375 ml bottle poured into a white wine glass. Hazy golden. Aroma is rich sweet honey, medium body, and very light carbonation. Taste is rich sweet honey, tart lemon, some earthy, and floral. Great mead.

Bottle (courtesy of weihenweizen). Woody, herbal honey aroma. Golden yellow with large, short lasting head and slight but long lasting effervescence. Sweet-tangy orange and honey flavor. Moderate carbonation. Very tasty.
