Pair is our 14% Pear Mead. While it carries itself much like a cider, this mead reads a touch tangier than your average cyser. Sweet orange blossom extends the finish, while a champagne yeast profile dances around the mid-palate. Full-bodied with a balance of acid and sugar.

Taster showing dark amber.

The nose shows moderately intense medicinal notes of pear.

The palate is light bodied with a light alcoholic bite. Pear forward with a strong sweetness. Feels like it needs a little more balance.

Bottle shared at the CBJ BIG BOOSTY XMAS tasting, thanks to Juan again (of the crowd), 13/12/23. Almost clear golden to light amber with a thin off white cap that escapes to the edge. Nose is pear drop, sugars, honeycomb, light spice. Taste comprises pear drop, orchard floor, honey drizzle, icing sugar. Full bodied, oily viscous feel, balanced alcohol in the close. Solid sipper.

375ml bottle pours out golden bartlett pear color. Nose is great sweet over ripe pears and a nice honey kick. Taste is more of the nice pear forward vanilla cream honey. Another great fruit mead from Pips.
