Apple Honey Wine aged in oak barrels.

This barrel aged dry cyser (’size-er’: a honey wine made with apples) was made with fresh-pressed Michigan apple cider and aromatic Michigan wildflower honey. Fermented to dryness and aged in charred American oak barrels. Huge apple aroma is complimented by the flavor of honey and oak with a warm smooth finish.

37.5 cl bottle consumed on May 4, 2012. Thanks to sebletitje!Clear yellow color, no head. Honey, dough, alcohol scent, apple, white wine and spicy. Dry, white wine, honey, spicy, saffron, alcohol, apple, tart taste. Smooth mouthfeel, tart dry bitterness. Dry white wine and honey aftertaste.Reminds me of apple wine, or white wine of some sort, more than a traditional dry mead I’m used to. Not bad though.

Bottle. Pours a clear pale gold with no head whatsoever. Aroma has light tart apple, a bit of honey and oak with a bit of bourbon and a white wine. Flavor begins with tart apple and white wine, but finishes with sweet apple, honey and a hint of bourbon.

375 mL bottle. Pours straw yellow with sparse fine particles and a very few bubbles on the surface of the glass. Musty smell, oak, apple, maybe chemical smell in the must. Flavor leads with apple and white grape, must and oak, honey and white bread. Dry, with some tartness and tannins. Not bad here, and it’s good to know I can get some enjoyment out of a dry mead.

Pours clear yellow. Nose of McIntosh apple, honey, oak and vanilla. Taste is mostly oak - overpowering all other flavors. Some honey, apple and hint of vanilla. I much prefer the other cyser. Medium body.

De couleur dorée très claire laissant un fin filament huileux sur le verre. Arôme a de subtiles notes de tonneau et de chêne, au nez, je note la pomme ainsi que la pelure de pomme qui donnent cet aspect unique. Le miel et fleurs des champs donnent à l’hydromel ce cote de cire naturel. En bouche, l’hydromel est comme décrit, sec avec la pomme qui donne un ton aigre et acide en bouche qui se mélange bien avec le chêne et une fine note de vanille.
