On tap at Mills River. Sparkling rose hip & hibiscus mead. Clear, quick sizzle, bleeding cherry red color. Boozy deep cherry & floral honey nose. Very boozy semi-sweet hibiscus, bittersweet citrus rind, waxy honey residual, rose floral on the tail. Heavy on the hibiscus. Thin-ish, middling soda sizzle, easy drinking. Solidly good.
