Date Tasted:

Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of grilled orange slice, lemon cake and plantain, maple cream, and banana with a round, dryish medium body and a complex, medium-long finish displaying nuances of orange and strawberry mamba candies, linseed, and apricot tea. A smoky, vanilla tinged mead that could convert drinkers of dry Chenin Blanc and Riesling.
