Khaki orange color. Aromas and flavors of orange Pez, Country Time pink lemonade, vanilla and eucalyptus, and Flintstone vitamins with a velvety, lively, dryish medium body and an appealing, medium-length finish revealing accents of mixed red berry sweet tart, raspberry and lemon, clover honey and coconut butter, and red berry tums. Fun and candied; a sweet showcase.

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.
