Bottle sample at Moonlight Meadery, pours a clear pale yellow. Aroma brings out lots of wildflower honey upfront, with a touch of tropical fruits. Flavour is along the same lines, with fresh mango and sweet wildflower honey. Complex and wonderfully designed. Excellent.

The mead is a medium, somewhat dull yellow. Mildly cloudy. Still. No bubbles. The aroma is big on honey. No obvious mango, but I think the fruit gives the mead a fruity, musky tone. Apples, pears, grapes, a little mint. It’s quite sweet. Medium alcohol heat. Honey seems a bit heavy, though I think it might be the mango. Well made but on the edge of cloying. I think this one needs an extra element, at least for my palate. It’s tasty, but I don’t want much more than a small glass. Fairly viscous. Lots of flavor.
