Description
Meadery owners John and Barbara Kennen raise bees adjacent to the wildlife refuge of Sutton Lake. Our honey crop comes primarily from West Virginia hardwoods (basswood, sourwood, poplar, maple, fruit trees.) From this nectar we produce mead or honey wine. Honey with our fruit and berries makes our melomels.

We specialize in organically grown fruits (i.e. rasberries, blueberries, peaches, apples, apricots), which are pollinated by our own bees. We also have a wide variety of honey and honey products.

Bottle: Clear, VERY pale gold.....totally still. Honey and yellow apple aroma. Flavour is the same.....very sweet and sticky...almost creamy. The alcohol is there, but imparts absolutely no harshness, bitter, or dissonance. What I’m saying is: Be careful..you could get really nob’d on this one.....excellent.

Bottle shared by Travlr at DC Pre-Thanksgiving tasting. Thanks! Poured a flat clear dark ruby red color. Aroma was light sweet berries - blackberries, obviously. Honey sweetness with some booze. Flavor was some boozy honey sweetness with a punch of lightly tart raspberries. Alcohol heat on the finish with this one.
