The 11th labor of Hercules was to steal "Golden Apples" from Hera's Orchard, which historians now believe were actually apricots. Our Apricot Peach Mead transports you to a hillside in late summer stealing stonefruit at the peak of ripeness. The Apricot Peach Mead in this bottle is a perfect balance of tart "Golden Apples" and sweet peaches. This craft beverage is a delight when paired with spicy Asian cuisine or charcuterie and rich cheeses

Bottle at Superstition DTPHX, pours a clear bright golden, no head. Aroma is quite floral, with lots of wildflower honey, floral peaches and apricot, and some perfumey notes. Flavour is intense, capturing the peaches and apricot in an intense way, with loads of peach and apricot — wow. Then the wild wildflower kicks in, along with the booze. What a great use of the fruit here. Lovely.

Pours a fairly clear, slightly pink'ed darker blonde with an amber desire. Scent is INTENSE. Apricot goodness, milder peach. Rich, rich, rich fruity aroma's burst right out of the glass. Taste is thick, much more juicy than the other mead's i sampled in todays line-up ( jucious ceasar, lagrimas de oro, war honey ). Extreme fruityness, apricot has the upperhand (which I like) . it's sweet, but not over the top. Very enjoyable mead ! Even notes of ... Apple. Not in there, I know, but still. Noticable alcohol that joins the flavors very well... Impressed !

Anti carnaval 2020 - redelijk stroperig zoet met erg frisse fruitige ondertonen van perzik en abrikoos, alcoholisch, lekker.

Ruikt fantastisch. Smaak is niet super bijzonder. Veel en veel te duur.
