Bottle shared at chriso’s pre-Christmas tasting. Pours clear very pale yellow with a few bubbles for a head. Nice apple and cinnamon spice aroma, with a bit of rich honey. Big sweet flavor but not cloying, with some dry spices, ripe apples, cinnamon spice. Full bodied, oily and chewy. Warming finish with nicely rounded honey, ripe and gooey apples, sugary apple pie filling, restrained cinnamon accents. Lovely stuff. So, so drinkable.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with a touch of amber and a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges quickly. Aroma has notes of sweet apple and caramel with light spice underlying. Flavor has a decent amount of spiced apple with a bit of booze and underlying caramel.

Bottle. Yep, this is darn tasty - crystal clear golden and still. Aroma is apples, honey, cinnamon. Flavor is sweet, but not overly so, vanilla peaks through as well as the cinnamon apple goodness. A little finishing heat gives away the 17% ABV. This is a tasty one.

I got this as a prize for placing in the mead category at NERHBC. Deep golden color with a smattering of bubbles on the surface as I pour into a glass. Sweet non descript honey aromas with a sharp apple on top. Light vanilla notes but very little in the way of oak or bourbon. Sweet honey almost cloying in the flavor with hints of apple and a light bit of alcohol. Little to no oak or barrel character. Thick body with a sweet sticky almost syrupy mouthfeel. Clean and flavorful, but very sweet and feels like it needs something to balance it or a hint more attenuation. Tannins maybe?

375 ml bottle purchased from the meadery. Clear gold color. Aroma is honey first and foremost with traces of peaches and almost a melon hint.
The peach is a very subtle undertone after the sweet honey base. The body of this mead seems to be a bit lighter than a few of the other Moonlights I sampled recently. Still good, but not as much peach as I was expecting.

375 ml bottle purchased from the meadery. Ruby with a pink hue color. Aroma is a blast of honey and plenty of strawberry notes.
Everybody knows honey is sweet but the sweetness upfront of this one is over the top. A tad of rhubarb tries to balance it... And it is in fact noticeable here but, it still doesn’t balance it.

375 ml bottle purchased from the meadery. Clear yellow with a mild sugary film around the edge of the glass. Aroma is crisp fresh apples with honey and pie crust.
Flavor is damn near an apple pie. Sliced Apple, trace of cinnamon and light amount of booze. No alcohol burn, real sweet Apple finish. Damn nice.
