12 oz can. Aroma is a huge amount of cinnamon. In the flavor the cinnamon is soft with honey down played and shows good apple characteristics. Spice is not overwhelming. At 6 % it is pretty easy drinking.

Can, don't remember if it was dated, from the shelf, drunk July 2024. Clear, bright blueberry-violet with cranberry hues. Nose is piquant and full of fairly authentic fruit. Clean enough. In the mouth there's a burst of big sweetness before it dries out somewhat, leading to a fair bit of acidity and a medium to medium-light body. Importantly, it's clean and not cloying. Really need to try some of their high-end meads.

5 oz draft. Aroma is a good amount of raspberry with the expected honey. Flavor follows. To say this has a jam quality might be stretching it a bit. But it was pretty easy to drink.

Single from City Swiggers. Stemless wine glass back @home. Hazy, solid, pale neon yellow pour with a bit of activity. Odd saline & herbal veg nose. Seriously medicinal. Ugly wax, fresh juice, menthol-laced herbage, earthy weak bitterness, simple syrup finish. The ugly fades some once it settles in. Crispy, decent acid, faint tartness, session mead texture. Okay to good once it breathes.
