Batch 3/3/23, 6.1% via Appalachian. Pint glass at home. The drink before the nightcap. Clear, medium gold, faint lace. Lemon oil, sulfur, floral blueberry muffins, hand soap nose; not great so far. Very medicinal. Floral honey, slick, somewhat fake blueberry(can says concentrate), sugary Lemonheads, very little acid, no tartness. Sugary mess without any tart lemonade. Hard pass.

Purchased at Total Wine in Tampa, FL, enjoyed at home on a nice Monday night. This is rather good stuff. Looks like a cider, smells like a sweet lemonade, taste is very refreshing. Fantastic notes of honey, blueberries, lemonade, but the flavor is not overtly sweet, very nice balance. Would gladly get this again.

Thinbodied mead, but refreshing. Big lemonade flavor balanced out by maybe raspberry?

Half liter bottle from Ridgeview Liquor, 6/7/21. Clear pink-orange, thin fizzy head, poor retention. Aroma of apple, blueberry, citrus. Taste is sweet honey, tangerine, citrus, lemon, and a berry finish. Moderate carb, maybe a bit too high. I agree with the previous rater... for the mead the honey gets overshadowed. Overall, pretty decent.

Half liter bottle from Keweenaw Co-op, 6/21/20, as New Wave. Hazy pink, fizzy head that fades quickly. Aroma of honey, vanilla, lemon. Taste is strong berry, vanilla, honey, tart lemon. Medium bodied, well balanced. Slick and oily. Mild lingering tartness. Nice.
