Sample at the Meadery during National Mead Day on 08/02/2014. Crystal clear pale golden color with tiny bubbles around the edges and sticky legs on the glass. Aroma of tart fruit, oak and spice. Full-bodied with flavors of tart paw paws and cherries, rye whiskey and sweet honey. The finish is fruity with an spice and oak aftertaste. All in all I like this more than the other Paw Paw Meads I have tried. Good all around.
