Sampled at Hierophant, pours a clear pale blonde. Aroma brings out pungent floral hops upfront, followed by somewhat fermented out honey. Flavour follows through, with lots of intense floral hops, and medium sweet honey. I usually can't stand hopped meads, but this works well.

750 ml bottle from their Solace tasting room in Spokane. Picked this up last weekend. It was my favorite out of the ones we sampled. Aroma is honey, floral, hops, wet stone. Pours pale yellow like a sauvignon blanc with a ring of big-bubbly foam. Taste is lightly sweet with a moderate amount of hop bitterness. Flavors like the aroma. Faint carbonation. Nearly wine-like mouthfeel, not so syrupy like some meads. Tasty.

Bottle @ Saturday night tasting - The Stein & Vine. Thanks Glen. Couleur pâle presque translucide. Arôme au bouquet rappelant fortement un Riesling, vin blanc, retrouve qcq éléments houblonnés, rétro mielleux. Palais est doux, mielleux avec un profil rappelant un vin blanc. Retrouve ce fini houblonné qui apporte une belle balance à l’aspect plus doux et sucré de cet hydromel. Intéressant comme approche sur un léger fini herbacé.
