Bottle sample at Moonlight Meadery, pours a clear dark rusted orangey yellow. Aroma brings out moderate apricot intensity upfront, with heavy sweet honey nectar. Flavour reveals light tartness from the apricots, cutting down on the sweetness and leaving a very pleasant alcohol burn. Nicely constructed, with a nice warming finish. Excellent.

Bottle from the Source. slightly hazy light golden color with a smattering of bubbles when first poured. Apricot, light vanilla, some sherry like oxidation and just a hint of cardboard and higher alcohols. Didn’t enjoy this one very much.

bottle-still-clear gold. A-med fruit, honey. T-first sip, in your face fruit-apricot, honey with a slight spice.

$15.99 375ml. Pours with a mostly clear orange hue with strong legs. A few stray bubbles towards the side of the glass (odd). Aromas of dried fruit, apricot, tea, honey (lightly spicy), nectarine, pear and light alcohol notes. Flavors show some very nice apricot flavors (like an apricot tart). Very juicy. Medium-sweet balance. Good/decently strong acidity. Slightly grassy honey profile. Finishes a bit tannic. Fruit flavors are quite juicy. A very very light effervescence (seems to have refermented a slightly in the bottle). Slight tannic edge, that makes the finish feel a bit drier than it otherwise might be. Medium to slightly full body (for a mead). Tasty.
