Description
Sap House Meadery is a small producer of premium, hand-crafted meads (honey wines). The Meadery was founded in 2010 by two young entrepreneurs, Ash Fischbein and Matt Trahan. Together they rejuvenated an old store front in downtown Center Ossipee, New Hampshire using many recycled materials and sustainable methods. Sap House Meads use only time-tested traditional methods and procure ingredients from local farms and markets.

The signature of Sap House Meadery is its use of pure New Hampshire maple syrup in many of its meads. In some, such as the Hopped Blueberry or Cranberry Sage, it is used to add complexity. In the Sugar Maple however, it is the main ingredient with nearly half the fermentable sugars coming from maple syrup.

At Sap House Meadery we value community building and strive to source our ingredients locally. We are committed to creating a product that is steeped in history, produced naturally, and enjoyed universally. Our meads are created with a passion for the land and in homage to the bees that keep the land going. Ask for our meads at your local wine shop or grocer, and stop by the Meadery to enjoy our process, have a tasting, and experience our passion. Cheers!

Bottle at home over a few nights. Ruby brown pour. Nose is caramel and apple. Tastes of apple, cinnamon, vanilla, booze, some honey, pie crust. Boozy. Moderate sweetness. Mead game too pricey in general for me but getting spiced meads towards 10 rates.

12 oz. Aroma has notes of raspberry, honey, bread. Pours hazy ruby red with a quickly collapsing pinkish-white head. Taste is moderately sweet, lightly tart with a lightly bitter edge. Raspberry and honey flavor. Carbonated. Tasty and refreshing.

Bottle from the source Brilliantly clear deep golden color light legs. Sweet honey nose light fruit strong alcohol. Flavor is semi to sweet non descript honey and faint earth with a brandy jam up front that quickly fades to warming alcohol that lingers long after each sip. This is a sipper to be sure! I've never had mead made with Lehua honey before but the alcohol in this one overpowers it to the point that I can't pick out it's nuances. I think this may be fabulous in a year or two, I wish I'd grabbed another to age one and see.

Bottle from the source. Lightly hazy golden color. Sweet honey and warming alcohol on the nose Flavor is about the same. Blueberry honey and the brandy barrel this was aged in are faint and there is sweet honey light oxidation and warming alcohol. Decent sipper
