Dry Hopped Mead gets its name from the dominant citrus-like flavor and aroma imparted from the dry hopping process, which involves aging the mead with fresh whole leaf hops.
It is clear gold/ yellow in appearance. Cascade hops contribute its strong fruity aroma with hints of pine, grapefruit, and subtle floral notes. An enhanced mouth-feel results in a medium-full bodied wine that has a well balanced burst of fresh grapefruit flavor, subtle hint of honey and natural bitterness of the hops.

Sample at the tasting room. Crystal clear pale golden color with a minimal head and patches of legs on the glass. Aroma of citrus, oak and honey. Medium to full body with flavors of citrus, floral honey and a bit of oak. The finish is fruity with a floral and citrusy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Decent-sized pour @ Meadhall in Cambridge. Most of the other meads were only available by the full bottle. :/ Glistening, clear, pale gold. The incredibly floral scent of dry hop just expands & fills my personal space. Smells like a bowl of strong citrus punch being served in a room full of sweet wildflowers. Tastes of white wine, melon, menthol, & pungent hops. Though the honey didn’t seem to add much aside from a moderate boost in body, it was semi-sweet, not too waxy, & the end result was silky on the tongue. This bottle easily tops the short list of drab, dry-hopped meads that I’ve tried. :)
