On draught at Bodega. Pours a crystal clear pale yellow color with a minimal white head that forms an outer ring. Decent legs on the sides of the glass. Aroma of ripe fruit with some dank notes and an interesting Elmer’s paste smell periodically. Medium, semi-dry body with a fruity character and flavors of honey, wood and mild earthy hops in the background. The finish is sweet and fruity. Interesting and pretty enjoyable overall.

Bottle shared by David, thanks. Poured a clear gold with no head. Aroma had a nice honey note, but the bright points was the apple and spice that really brought out the apple pie. Flavor was similar with honey apples and spice that made for a great mead.

Sample at the Meadery. Slightly hazy honey color with good legs. Straight up apple pie aroma with lots of cinnamon and nutmeg. Rich and somewhat syrupy body with a baked apple, cinnamon and even graham cracker crust flavor. About as close as you can get to its namesake in liquid form. The finish is cinnamon apples with a lingering sweet aftertaste. Very good overall.
