Moonstruck Capsumel Mead
Bottle @ Farnam House - Pours pale clear yellow-green, still. I’m definitely getting green pepper, like bell peppers, with some very general heat in the finish. Very vegetal. Nice!

Moonstruck Ginger Mead
Honey sweet with a mellow ginger warmth. Very tasty, but perhaps a bit too much spicy, a little uneven. Tried with Jess at the meadery in 2017.

Moonstruck Roasted Pineapple Chipotle Mead
Jess’s favorite of the flight we had at the brewery in 2017. The front end is pineapple heavy, fairly sweet, but there’s a nice, lingering heat. Nicely balanced.

Moonstruck Strawberry-Rhubarb Mead
Very sweet, though not quite as sweet as the straight strawberry mead. Very berry-y. A shade beneath the threshold of cloying. Tried at the meadery with Jess in 2017.

Our favorite of the flight of meads Jess and I tried at the brewery in 2017. Light and gold. Fuzzy peach flavor, sweet but not too sweet. A little minerally and a pleasant honey warmth.

Moonstruck Show Mead
I’m new to mead, but this one seemed pretty solid. The honey sweetness was understated, slick mouthfeel with a clear yellow appearance. Tried at Farnam House with Brandon and Monica in 2016. Tried again with Jess at the meadery in 2017.

Draft. A- Blackberry, berries, subtle honey, sweet, subtle alcohol. A- Dark purple color, clear liquid, no head. T- Blackberry, blueberry, subtle flowers, sweet, honey. P- Medium body, average texture, medium carbonation, strong fruity finish. O- Lots of nice blackberry in this.

Bland and had what looked like sorbate clinging to the bottom. Maybe a rushed to the shelf batch and at $24.95 I shouldn’t be seeing a thick white gooey sediment cake in my mead.

Moonstruck Plum Melomel
Clear dark amber. Nose was dark with notes of raisin and plum notes. Flavor was sweet and tart with a sweet candy plum flavor and a little un-spicy ginger. A bit un-mead like, but pleasant to drink. Like drinking plum candy. Surprisingly little boozy flavor. Like, none. Drank like juice. Kinda dangerous.

Despite what I rated, there is some decent qualities that makes it slight worth the aroma has the pepper quality with a lousy end, palate is weak but it's slightly sweet which does save it. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

like the other mead, it has a real funky flavor of sulfur and sweet berries. the mead has a some definite fruitiness but it taste more like a wine than a mead.

Moonstruck Peach Melomel
Lacks the over quality of being a mead that is substantial. the peach is almost non-exsistant. Its slightly silky palate is over wrought by a almost terrible back taste of cork and vegetable flavors.

The aroma is sulfur like with some sweet honey. The appearance is yellow clear with no head. The taste is like the aroma and could have come out of a toilet. The palate is watery. I can sum it up in one word, avoid.

there are way too many faults for this mead. when opening the bottles the aroma is noticeable of sulfur and also slightly repugnant. the palate is soft but slightly watery. the taste is taste of medicinal and lack of the quality of honey that one needs in a mead. slightly carbonated. drain pour
