Sahred bottle. GOlden color. Aroma of honey, oranges, herbal notes, pineapples. Taste wasn't sweet as I expected, fruity, orang, tangerines, pineapples, some herbs. Good.

Alright well this is it. The last rating. I thought why not go back home and get something from my former home of Bloomington, plus I had wanted a mead for some time anyway. OK so this one isn't all that great. Light bodied, hints at honey and white wine, light solvent notes. Semi-sweet. Pale yellow-straw.

This cider smells of apple, oak, and vanilla. The flavor is quite sweet, but not sickeningly so. The bourbon blends well, particularly as it warms. Nice cider.

This cider has a pleasant peach heavy aroma. The flavor is a peach and apple sugar bomb. It’s just too sweet. It’s still drinkable but the promise of that nice, fruity aroma is kind of spoiled by overdoing the sugar.

Very nice. Juicy red/black cherries/skin/pits/vanilla/almond/red/green apples/honey/lt herbal. Semisweet finish. Slight acidic/tangy/tannic drying. No cloying. Great fruit complexity/balance. Smooth sipping, min warmth. Delicious dessert applewine

bottle, rated in Aug 2017 - Aroma is of apples and cinnamon. The flavor is sweet-ish apples with some cinnamon. Unremarkable though easy enough to drink.

Its alright. Clean straightforward apple flavors, a bit on the sweet side, a tad heavy, but not surprising at 8% abv. No real depth or anything interesting however. Try a different yeast. Sorry hometown winery.

Sampled at Vintage Estate this mead poured a yellow-tan color. The aroma was strong strawberry jam, sugar and was a bit artificial. The flavor was strong strawberry jam, yeast and bread. Long finish. Moderately full bodied. Quite nice.

Damn nice! Juicy/tangy peach; sweet/tart apples; fruit peel/light spice. Sweet/tart/tangy finish; light-med carb. Very balanced/drinkable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Oliver Beanblossom Peach Hard Cider on 15 Jul 2016 at 19:35 - Score: 8. Original review text:
