This semi dry mead is classified as a show mead by the fact that it is nothing but Honey and water fermented. The aromas of wildflower and honey are pronounced with a slightly zestful finish. This is slightly oaked to add complexity and character. This mead lends itself well to Mediterranean dishes like olives and hummus, or Scallops.

Bottle sample at the meadery - big thanks to the generous hosts! Pours clear, pale yellow. Nice mead, not cloying, with pleasant notes of flowers, dry wood. Full bodied. Lightly warming on the finish with accents of lemon, florals. Not terribly complex but it’s good stuff overall.

Bottle sample at the source. Clear golden yellow color. Aroma of floral honey. Taste is honey with a lightly spiced and peppery finish. OK.
