I love tupelo honey and I enjoyed this mead! Gold pour. Aroma is dry florals, tupelo, fruit. Flavor is dryer than expected I can taste the tupelo notes...nice mead. Glad to try it.

(Bottle shares by by Dak). Pours hazy golden and still. Aroma is honey, florals, wine, booze. Taste is sweet with some spice, honey and some booze. Sticky texture. Hot, but really good!

Pours somewhat translucent yellow with haziness throughout. Aroma is somewhat sweet with notes of lighter fruits. Flavor is rich and sweet with a decent amount of alcohol in the finish. Quite good and smooth. Heavy on the honey and floral notes with a pinch of spice.

375ml bottle thanks to badnewsbeers. Pours with a hazed golden body with laser etched legs. Aroma is hay, spicy, grape skins, tannins, honey and alcohol. Flavors are sort of spicy and grain like (strange), earthy, spicy, with a lingering floral-fruit-wine grape note. Some light citrus like acidity as well. Medium viscosity for a mead of this size. Good tannins which seem to offset the sweetness and dry it out a bit. Very floral honey, that lends an odd character to the mead.

Tupelo honey is a favorite of mine and this did not disappoint. Nice light brown still pour. The flavor and aroma is all about right sweet mildly floral honey. Very sweet and very tasty. Great stuff.

Thanks to Cheeseman and AskOfficerFriendly for sharing. Pours a thin bronze. Sweet, but not syrupy. Nice enough mead with only a slight bite.

Cheeseman ripped this baby open at the Double Barrel Zhukov release. Oh yeah..... Clear light yellowish pour. Really nice sweet honey, floral aroma. Tangy honey taste, just so clean and devoid of off flavors. Soooooo good.
