375mL bottle drunk 5/9/25.
Clear apple juice with a rich honey tint to it.
Earthy with interesting yeast character and rich but seemingly well-attenuated honey. Apple is very fruity, but not sweet or overpowering. Just some tartness on the finish; no alcohol.
Sweet, rich, juicy with a good mix of lightly peppery honey and fleshy apple. Sweetness up front dries out nicely on the finish with the mildly tart apple. Rich and comforting with a tasteful apple character that allows the mead to still retain its honey character front and center.
