Bottle pour shared by Chalumeaux--thanks, TJ! Lightly hazy gold with no sparkle, head or lacing. Aroma is honey, strong blood orange and subtle pineapple. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Sweet, but not overly sweet, with nice adjuncts--wish the pineapple had been stronger.

375mL bottle, undated, thanks to Chalumeaux. Drunk 8/3/24. Clear honey-bronze-brass. Big pineapple, vanilla and strong honey. Nothing too compelling and it seems to lack acidity to balance the sweet, juicy, fruity notes. Some pineapple acidity in the flavor but very sweet, sluggish, no lip-smacking, palate-clearing acidity like you get in the best meads. Rather sugary, pineapple-dominated, bit alcoholic. Not the best showing from Pips.

375ml bottle pours out golden orange color. Nose is blood orange some pineapple and nice sweet honey. Taste is more of the nice orange pineapple mix with plenty sweetness.
