Aroma: “Nice honey aroma up front (grapes and orange and sweet floral aroma), light tannins, light alcohol, very light fruity berries (raspberries, blackberries), light jasmine flowers, light honey sweetness, a hint of sage. Sweet honey is lightly caramelly and slightly raw-honey, light fruity esters, slightly musky citrus notes, soft alcohol, and light carbonics.”

Flavor: " Soft honey up front with light pear and melon esters. Grape and orange and lemon, with a soft acidic balance. Light sweetness moves to puckering mouthfeel that lingers. Light carbonation helps the balance. Refreshing, but a bit tart. Light earthy floral, touch of mold, citrus, raspberries, and a touch of light earthiness in the aftertaste. Lingering moderate sweetness and medium-high acid. Honey lingers into the finish.”

Overall: “Nice mead that reminds me of dry lemonade. The alcohol and slight mustiness are a bit detracting, but the acidity and the nice citrus is a good balance. Fruity, citrusy honey. With less tartness and smoother alcohol, this would be a stronger contender.”
