22 oz bottle. From the Brew Pub, 20102 vintage. Nose is a really pleasant crisp apple and ginger root. Very low carbonation with no head. As this mead warms up, it really is exactly as the bottle description. Apple cider upfront and the cider maks up the body. The honey is very subdued yet can be found Mid-sip. Ginger root rounds out the flavors in the finish.

Bottle at Chriso Tasting, London. Big thanks to Chris for the MA beers. Pours clear, deep gold with a fine, white froth head. Pine and leaves in the nose. Medium sweet flavor with dry orange, grass, pine, some lightly toasted bread. Medium bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. Lightly resinous finish with pine needles, a bit of orange and grapefruit. Great balance in this DIPA.

Growler directly from the brew pub. Clear orange color with very thin head without much retention. Nose is mostly caramel malt. Light carbonation with a mildly sweet, sticky texture. Bready caramel malt with a light fruity/floral hop finish. Real drinkable and can pound a few in a session.

22 oz. directly from the brew pub. Deep ruby color with no head or lacing. Nose is smoky peat with dark fruit and light chocolate. Lots of smokiness in the flavor with a light smoked meat flavor. Sweet malt comes up toward the finish. The smoke and sweetness complaints each other well. Medium in body. It’s ok.
