7.6/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Round 1 of pours at their home tasting room. Rich, clear, dark, red-purple, Pinot. Dark berry, light wax, sharp nose. Jammy, clean, fresh tart fruit, lingering acid & honey glaze on the palate. Expectedly thin but still with a slight body. Appropriate heat but still somewhat tamed. Tasty.

Round 2, sweet pours in their homey garage tasting room. 10% now. Cloudy, pale pour. Floral, grassy, medium waxy nose. Semi-sweet, light astringency, medium acid, aged, slight oakiness, honey isn't giving much depth. Not much heat, a touch creamy. Okay. Not as complex or simply as good as their pure Traditional.

Flight pour at their garage tap room. Pale gold, slight cloudy. Rounded apple nose, flabby. Mellow sweet, more mushy dessert apple, savory cooked, slight acid. Thin heat at the finish, slick smooth body. Had a second pour to confirm but didn't fall in love with it.

Bottle pour at their garage turned tasting room, Sept 24. Coarse but steering clear, pale yellow, still. None of their meads are carbonated. Floral, delicate, buttery, not much apple like there would be in chamomile tea. Honey esters are pushed forward, silky feel, a bit of body+, light acid, very slight vanilla, mellow heat, very round & obviously aged. Just amazing. Had two full pours after the tasting.

In my initial flight at their garage tap room, Sept 24. Pale, soft gold. Floral, churned, pale maple butter nose. Delicate maple candy; buttery, cream, lovely. Coating, slightly acidic body. Not very heavy. So much softer than maple syrup. Had two pours & then bought a bottle to take home.
