LCI. Didn't really remind me of traditional mead but it was nice to start the day with at least.

Location: Sampled at the Meadery, 1/26/14

Aroma: The aroma is a nice mix of fruity sweetness and jalapeno peppery spice
Appearance: This one has a clear orange pour to it into the wine glass
Flavor: The taste is much the same, sweet, with some honey, fruit, and peppery flavors
Palate: The body is leans to the lighter side, slightly cloying, with an average carbonation
Overall Impression: I loved the gimmick quality of this one. It just struck me the right way. For me, meads aren't my favorite, so giving it a little peppery kick seemed really just about right.

Location: Sampled at the Meadery, 1/26/14

Aroma: The nose is apple and honey, some caramel and vanilla notes
Appearance: This one has a clear orange pour to it into the wine glass
Flavor: The taste is similar, on the sweet side for sure, nice mix of components
Palate: This one had a nice enough feel, its a little sitcky/slippery on the mouth
Overall Impression: This place was about as close to home brewing as you can get and be commercial. It seems like a lot of effort went into crafting this. I'm not a mead expert, but I liked the effort.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7

Bottle. Pours with a very lightly hazed, but mostly clear, pale, straw yellow hued body with some light legs. Aromas are a bit waxy and earthy up front. Soil, floral, dirt, bitter. Mild stone fruit notes. Flavors are juicy peaches up front with a grassy, waxy and almost flint like mid with some mild hay, floral, grassy and lightly buttery finish. Lots of canned peach flavors. Still, medium viscosity, somewhat dry with a very low tannin. Not bad.
