Pale yellow. a tiny bit of carb.I only get a very faint pepper aroma. nose is mostly dominated by honey. just a tiny pepper aroma. Honey and some strange sweet honeydew melon up front. Then in the middle, there’s this intense pepper taste that continues and lingers long after swallowing. Intense pepper! but not awful. wish it was less sweet

500 ml bottle picked up months ago at my local Market Basket. Purple lightly hazy color. Aroma is a blend of mixed berries that reminds me most of blackberry.
. The mouthfeel has a berry sweetness with a mixture of cherry, blackberry and blueberry. The berries run together as I sip. The ABV is covered with the honey hardly noticeable but provides a slight warming after a few ounces. The berries dominate this honey wine. Real easy to sip, enjoyable.

Sweet and elegant; smooth; this mead is true to its name, an apple pie with cinnamon, but there is no exaggeration in the usage of the spice; balanced; very pleasant.

500 ml bottle sampled at Brian’s Grand Mead tasting, nearly forgot to rate this during the whirlwind of mead. Clear golden color. Aroma is of light honey with a hint of spicy pepper. Really light pepper. Flavor is a moderate about of honey that slowly transitions into a light pepper spice.
. The mouthfeel has a nice sweetness to help balance the peppers. The pepper seem to gradually build after a few sips. By the end of my 4 oz, I noticed the slowly growing pepper heat. Yet the honey does manage to balance it rather well. I liked this much more than I would have guessed.
