A ménage a trots between orange blossom honey, rhubarb, and strawberries. Tease your senses with this balanced yet complex array of flavors. This semi-sweet and tart Strawberry Rhubarb Mead goes great with a wide variety of dishes, such as a goat cheese salad.

Draft at ChurchKey, they gave me like 8 ounces of this stuff instead of the 4oz pour, what are they thinking. Poured a clear reddish color, with a small wispy head which disappears. Wow, strawberry rhubarb pie notes. Flavor is the same, light tartness from the berry and rhubarb, but lots of sweet, dry notes from the honey. Alcohol is clearly there, but beverage is incredibly smooth.

4 oz pour on draft at ChurchKey. Clear reddish orange, sparse bubbles around the ring. Aromas of fruit pebbles, strawberries, vitamins. Tastes of vitamin, strawberries, citrus zest, rhubarb. Light body with a dry finish. Still carbonation, syrupy mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with no head whatsoever. Aroma has a good amount of rhubarb with sweet honey and a bit of strawberry underlying. Flavor is more rhubarb forward with a dry honey and some strawberry in the finish.

375 ml bottle purchased from the meadery. Ruby with a pink hue color. Aroma is a blast of honey and plenty of strawberry notes.
Everybody knows honey is sweet but the sweetness upfront of this one is over the top. A tad of rhubarb tries to balance it... And it is in fact noticeable here but, it still doesn’t balance it.
