12oz can from Appalachian. Goblet @home. Frothy pour, hazy gold ipa. Nose is citrus peel, fruit juice, plastic, salt. Obvious wax as it warms. Taste upfront is Oranjina, acidic & very citrusy. Backend is bitter wax & some residual earthy honey. Yeast & orange peel on the finish. Taste is natural & more bitter/tangy/sour than straight sweet. Prickly, but not strong carbonation. Runny, not syrupy. Mellow alcohol. Might be the first session mead I've actually enjoyed.
