Pour has a thick foamy head that peeps up from the rim. Solid yellowish white liquid. Coconut cream and vanilla dominate the nose. Major smoothie texture dominated by that coconut cream, vanilla, and orange flavor. Pulp from either the orange or coconut flakes. But there's a very odd funk, like suntan lotion that gets in the way. Must be from too much coconut. And I was just starting to like coconut.

1 oz. sample at Standard Meadery. Purple rim of small bubbles around the edge. Sweet berrynose. Just a touch of fizz on the tongue. Plenty of sweetness and berry taste. A strong fruited mead as it should be.

Well, I decided that coconut in here was fine (but the next one I sampled tasted like suntan lotion). But anyway, strawberry and orange in the nose, a red pour with legs showing tiny bits of fruit. The first sip sets a tasty coating in the lip, like dipping a beak in honey. The balance seems off between the fruit and honey, but there's just enough coconut to smooth it out.

Sample at Standard Meadery. I was reminded the honey is all from mango flowers, with no mango fruit. Sample is very dark, with a kind of tart nose. Also a very dark honey taste. Even without actual mango, it has a fruit and honey blend in the taste.

Can from Orange & Brew. The pour tries to look blue, but instead it's king of a sickly yellow with a blue overcast. Flakes of coconut float to the top. I get some raspberry and coconut nose. Taste is kind of a melted blue raspberry Slurpee, some smooth coconut at the side. That and the cotton candy flavor give it a bit of creamy edge with the sweetness. Kind of grows on me as I finish it off. Yes, a sweet raspervvy flavored milk type thiingy.

Bottle pour at Standard, pours a clear orange amber, no head. Aroma reveals an elegant mix of walnut, Thai banana, cinnamon and some honey. Flavour has intense, concentrated walnut and banana upfront, with a touch of cinnamon, and floral honey. The bourbon is genre but rounds things out wonderfully. Complex and bizarre but it�s exquisitely done.

Bottle pour at Standard, pours a clear copper with a tiny head. Aroma has bourbon barrel, light apple skins, and Thai banana in good cohesion. Flavour is cohesive and complex as hell, with tons of Thai banana, bourbon barrels, and just a hint of apple that�s barely noticeable. Wonderful combo of the Thai banana and bourbon. Wonderful.
