Clear, pale gold, still. Place was dark. I could be wrong. Rich, coffee creamer & cookie nose. Sweet nutty creamer, deep earthy coffee, very little bitterness, slight maple, contrasting fruitiness from the honey. Syrupy. Super smooth. Simple yet tasty.

Short wine glass at the source with Jay. Clear, bright, dark amber, very leggy. Rounded cinnamon, medium high acid, almost apply nose. Taste is thin, super rich, very buttery pancake syrup that is somehow real, slick, more obvious maple notes, a touch of smokey vanilla. Drippy sweet maple candies, warm cinnamon & oozy un-fermented honey. Very slight acid keeps this from getting sloppy. Impossible yet lovely. Just a little drier would have been my jam.

Short pour at the source with Jay. Kept coming back to this one. Hazy pale straw, dull, mostly still pour. Egregious level of lychee juice & lemon honey in the nose. Sweet lychee, lychee candies, mild bittersweet, cream, lemon honey sharpness, decent acid, super rich for a session mead. Crazy that this is all natural.
Absolutely lovely cocktail material. Hard to drink a full pour.

Dull but not hazy, wispy, pale neon Ecto Cooler-colored half pint pour at the source. Husky, soft lemon lime nose. Soft pith, lemon lime, lightly floral, weak wax. Good acidity, faintly herbal, decent acidity, box juice sweet. Okay to good.

Champagne glass pour plus a taster at the source. Slightly hazy, not quite settled. Unassuming, pale gold, tight foam. Delicate citrus nose, grass, iron, slight fresh geranium. Minerally, soft lemon, yeasty, mousse, tight bubbles, light pith on the tail. I thought it wasn't really zero dry but the mazer said there was some oak in there to round it out. Racking this for a couple years to settle would probably be lovely. Great.

Short pour shared with Jay at this awesome adult goth mead bar. Stemware. Clear, still, dark maple pour in this dim light. Crazy legs. Raspberry puree, ity tiny bit of funk on the nose. Tart fresh, un-fermented fruit, lovely bittersweet linger, full length tartness, round oak, low volatiles, runny sticky yet doable. Less nuance more pure fruit. Lingering. Very tasty.

Bottle shared by Yaniv, thanks! Pours a clear copper with a gold hue and no head whatsoever. Aroma is quite nutty with peanuts and hazelnut with a bit of honey coming through. Flavor has a lot of hazelnut and pistachio with a growing sweet honey note and some barrel backing.
