A traditional mead made with wildflower honey from the thumb area of Michigan. The honey makes a richly complex mead, full of aromas and flavors of many of Michigan’s natural flora. We age this mead on American oak wich softens it and adds some nice vanilla notes.

Bottle thanks to Craig, The appearance is clear very pale gold. The nose is rich, oily, fragrant, slick, honey, crunchie and floral. The taste is slick, oily, bergamot, honey, slightly sticky, some warming alcohol and some dried florals with a slick mouth - feel. Medium + body and oily mouth - feel. Not much depth, but drinkable.

Bottle. Hazy light straw body, no head. Sharp nose of honey and potpourri. Sweet, sweet body. Like, very sweet, with some floral tannic elements but still sugary as hell. If hell is sugary. Which it probably isn’t, except that implies hell exists, which it doesn’t. But forgive these saccharine digressions and take away this: this is one sweet-ass motherfucking mead.
