A bit tart and a thing mouthfeel for a mead. The mint gives it a nice finish though.

Clear rubyred color and almost no head. Big fan of B.Nektar but a little frightend of the chili. Nice fruityness with a well balanced spicyness.

Can, WW. Very pale gold. Light carbonation, no head. Licorice (?), pineapple, apple, honey, light trash nose. Flavor is pineapple, apple (I think it's the sweetness of the honey, as I don't actually taste honey), light floral notes. Light carbonation.

Extremely light session mead, faint pineapple, stronger honey. I'd much rather drink this than most seltzers. Great can description.

Half liter bottle from Ridgeview Liquor, 6/7/21. Clear pink-orange, thin fizzy head, poor retention. Aroma of apple, blueberry, citrus. Taste is sweet honey, tangerine, citrus, lemon, and a berry finish. Moderate carb, maybe a bit too high. I agree with the previous rater... for the mead the honey gets overshadowed. Overall, pretty decent.

Half liter bottle from Keweenaw Co-op, 6/21/20, as New Wave. Hazy pink, fizzy head that fades quickly. Aroma of honey, vanilla, lemon. Taste is strong berry, vanilla, honey, tart lemon. Medium bodied, well balanced. Slick and oily. Mild lingering tartness. Nice.
