(Thanks, Jeremy! JStax) Can. A- Mild cherry, subtle honey. A- Red color, clear liquid, no head. T- Mild cherry, slightly sweet. P- Light body, average texture, high carbonation, balanced finish. O- More like a cider than a mead in my opinion. Especially considering the low ABV. Okay, but not something I would normally drink.

Sample at the Black Friday 04 tasting on 11/23/2018. This Mead is a clear pale golden color with a minimal head and partial legs on the glass. Aroma of banana, vanilla and bourbon. Medium to full body with flavors of banana cream pie, oaky vanilla and bourbon. The finish is sweet with a banana and bourbon aftertaste. Good Mead all around.

Bottle from Tasty Beverage in Asheville. Stubby, yet elegant. No idea what I payed for it. Only 6%, but a mead? Sierra Nevada Sidecar glass. Too lazy to clean the Duvel. Pale, lavender foam rises & recedes. A clear, reddish brown body sits. Smells of hops & something fairly Concord grape & blackberry-like. Taste is lightly laquered, with obvious residual honey. Faintly carbonated. Juicy, mostly sweet & faintly tart raspberry & blackberry pop out. Fairly sweet, but very thin & easy to drink. Noticable, but lighter plastic note that cones with mead. Tastes like it was backsweetend with the entirety of the juice. Natural, but just way underdone. Can I drink this? Yes. It is well made? No. Manischewitz, almost.
