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

Thanks Walt for sharing bottle! Taster showing pale gold. The nose shows clean notes of honey and sweet apricots. The palate is thin bodied. Sweet with sharp acidic notes of apricot and light peach with more honey on the ends.

Bottle at The Sweatest Tasting, Superstition edition. Clear pale golden hue. Dipping those ripe peaches in honey baby, floral honey, apple, ice cider, massive sweet and good fruity tartness. Some vanilla and god damn tastiness. Lean and supple, oily, no carbonation. Tasty tasty. Like Ice cider with peaches.

Small sample from Tommy via Jacob. Very nice to try this. A little bit cloudy with yellow honey color. Very peachy aroma with a very light honeysuckle floral nose and brown sugar. mmmm dried apricot. wow. it’s like those bags of apricot you buy in the stores at Wal*mart or something mixed with a floral honey flavor and a light bitterness at the finish. I even get cherry pits up front. very interesting.

Bottle courtesy of Hackobock. Pours clear pale golden leaving some subtle legs on the glass with a swirl. Smell is fruity and floral with honey, bees wax, ripe peaches, plums, minerals and hints of alcohol. Taste is sweet, bitter, fruity and tiny floral. Mouthfeel is soft, round, tiny oily, slightly astringent, boozy and medium to full bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with floral honey, bees wax, apricots, peaches, plum jam, hay, minerals, peach/apricot skins and alcohol. Surprisingly bitter which caught me off guard. Very fruity too. Not at all what I expected but still good of course.
