It pours a dense dark amber color with orange reflexes, and some sediment, hence hazy. Nice aroma, almonds, some fruits, alcohol and honey. Very sweet and syrupy, but with a high degree of acidity; some almond flavor, and lighter flavor of bitter almonds; alcohol warmth. The bitterness in the end is expected in this mead. Less surprising than, for example, the Blueberry version, but still a good one.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A copper colored mead with a distinct aroma of apricots. Generic fruityness and honey, hints of leather. The flavor is a bit too much on the apricot side, but with the same honey and leather found initally. Apricot stones. Full-bodied. A quite nice one, but I find it’s too heavy on the apricot. 110318
