From tank at the brewery. Reddish body, some head that went away soon. Slightly funky, but pleasant cherry-driven aroma. Sweet cherry-driven taste, not overdone but notable not meady-sweet all the way, light honey / fermented honey meady notes, vaguely funky so. I mean, this isn't half-bad as a beverage - I could easily have had more, and I see people who like this kind of stuff going for it. It's very much far from what a mead is though originally, tugging at the edges of the style. I see this scoring both slightly higher and much lower with others.
