Bottle sample at Sap House, pours a clear blonde. Aroma brings out light maple syrup, some brown sugar and alcohol. Flavour is along the same lines, with maple sugar, light honey and dry white wine. Boozy and lightly sweet with nice depth. Solid.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours clear very pale gold with a tiny white head. The aroma is sweet, rich, fruity, honey, maple, apple, pear and earth. The taste is smooth, rich, tangy fruits, wood, earth, floral, oily, apple skin, wood and a touch of acidity even. Finish is rather warming. Interesting, but a bit rough around the edges.

Bottle shared in Watford - picked up in NH. Pours clear yellow-gold. Rich honey in the snout, light alcohol, florals, tangerine. Medium sweet flavour with definite alcohol boost, some lemony accents, moderate honey, some spicy notes, marmalade. Medium to full bodied, and lightly chewy. Warming finish, sweet but not syrupy, with more restrained honey, very faint smoke, tangerine. Interesting stuff. Not bad.

Pours a light golden color with one or two stray bubbles. Smells of sweet honey with faint hints of sugary maple. This smells fantastic. Taste is sweet and smooth with a slight but not harsh alcohol burn. Medium to thick body, still, sweet almost syrupy mouthfeel. Great mead!
