Sampled this at the meadery, 12/12/15. Reddish color. Lots of berry sweetness, which over runs the honey flavor a bit too much in my opinion. While this is a nice fruit mead, it gets a hint more cloying than the rest of the Melovino offerings I tried, and was thusly my least favorite of the tasting.

Sampled at the meadery, Pours a light gold. Aroma and flavor are both sweet orange blossom honey-forward. Tastes wonderfully fresh. Drinks super clean, light, and refreshing. I expected this to bee too sweet, but it's so clean and refreshing that it totally worked for me.

375 ml bottle from the meadery, 8/12/15
Pours a clear orange color with almost a rust tinge to it. Barrel / vanilla aroma, espresso beans, honey is underneath. Espresso and barrel are much more muted on the flavor with a smooth orange blossom honey-like sweetness coming through and just a nice, clean espresso bitterness to finish it off. Really liked how well this one worked.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow gold. Nose/taste of cucumber, melon, honeydew honey, orange blossom, vanilla and lemon. Lighter bodied. Smooth. A sessionable mead that is just fantastic. (Note. I’ve had three bottles of this. First two were amazing. Third one not so much. I’ve kind of averaged out the ratings, but they had some serious problems with these bottles after they aged for a couple weeks.).
