Coral orange color. Aromas and flavors of strawberry cough syrup, perfume, orange, mint, beeswax, lemongrass, sage and garden herb, and sweet potato and thai basil with a round, soft, fruity medium-to-full body and an even, intricate, medium-length finish with notes of macerated herbs, bramble berry, roasted carrots, and mixed italian seasoning. An interesting savory undertone adds depth to this Melomel.

Melomel

Melomel is a traditional mead to which fruit has been added. The fruit character is the driver here, and whether dry or sweet should be very evident. Key here is a natural, ‘off-the-vine’ evocation rather than any suggestion of artificial flavorings.
