Silvery emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of dried sweet grass and cannabis, wheatgrass, lemon grass, orange peel, ramps, pine resin, and green strawberries with a medium body and a medium finish evoking notes of dried sage, sweet bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts. A fizzy, fun, sweet and herbal mead.
