(Thanks, Jeremy! JStax) Bottle. A- Honey, mild blackberry. A- Red copper color, clear liquid, no head. T- Honey, faint cinnamon, mid sweetness. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- My Easter beer of choice. Shared with my brother which I sorta regretted, because it was outstanding. Typically not a huge mead fan but have always been interested. This was golden. Honey comes through and tasted like a batch of fresh sweet local honey. Didn't only add to the sugar and alcohol content but the flavor was pure and natural. The blackberry added a bit of fruit flavor but it was minimal. Not too sweet. Honestly shocked by the low ratings. Perhaps my favorite mead to date. Wow. Wish I had another bottle to share with Ozzy70.

Fantastic! Sour/tart/tangy cherry/raspberry/skin/seeds; red/green/crisp apples; fruit peel/honey/floral/herbal/cinnamon/lt pepper. Semidry/semicrisp carb. Lingering acid/tang/tannins. No astringent. Refreshingly smooth. Top tier hydromel as expected.

Banana wine! + Honey wine too. It's so decadent that it seems odd sometimes, floral or coffee notes, but only the slightest odd notes, otherwise tons of ripe bananas and honey.
