Reddish orange color. Aromas and flavors of freshly opened package of haribo gummi bears, tropical fruit salad, sweet tobacco hookah smoke, and red jell-o powder with a medium-to-full body and a medium-to-long finish with shades of all the gummi bear flavors, goji berry, blueberry juice, and watermelon and rose water. This mead walks the line between being fruity and floral very well.

About
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.
