Bottle from the source Brilliantly clear deep golden color light legs. Sweet honey nose light fruit strong alcohol. Flavor is semi to sweet non descript honey and faint earth with a brandy jam up front that quickly fades to warming alcohol that lingers long after each sip. This is a sipper to be sure! I've never had mead made with Lehua honey before but the alcohol in this one overpowers it to the point that I can't pick out it's nuances. I think this may be fabulous in a year or two, I wish I'd grabbed another to age one and see.
