$3.99 Can from Gilly’s. Clear, almost waterlike with tiny bubbles emanating from the bottom. Aroma is garbage water, mango, and honey. Flavor is mango, heavy burning honey, peppery as hell - oh look at that: peppers in the brew. Didn’t see that beforehand. I don’t like it.

Ordinarily, I am not a fan of small, quick, light meads meant to be beer-like. But when you make it a pepper mead, well that is a nice exception. Ordinarily, a pale, not that sweet, more watery, beer alternative mead is a waste of my time. But add a nice pepper flavor and a decent burn, to the sweet, pear-like flavor, and its doable. The mango isn’t particularly present but the peppers, as intended, is the spotlight player.

4oz pour at Black Squirrel DC is a clear gold with zero head and some apparent carbonation. Nose is quite mild, honey, perhaps a little tropical fruit. Flavor has a pleasant and enveloping level of heat which coats the lips, pink peppercorns, honey, a little candle. Needed a bit more of the mango. Slick and sweet finish.

Sampled from the tap at Black Squirrel. Pours a clear hydrated pee with a white head that dissipates to the edges quickly. Aroma has a combination of sweet mango and honey with a touch of heat. Flavor also has a nice combination of mango and sweet grains and some heat in the finish.

Not much here other than a little tang and honey. Very watery. Pink pour. Some citrus. Light tangy finish. Watery consistency and texture. Tap at 7 locks.
