On draught at the tasting room. This Mead is a clear yellow-gold color with a minimal head and sticky legs on the glass. Aroma of green apple, spice and honey. Full-bodied with flavors of slightly tart apple, spice and floral honey. The finish is mildly tart apples and spice. A little less sweet and less "apple pie-like" than the original but overall still a good Mead.
