Golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of bosc pear and yellow apple, eucalyptus sap, yellow flowers, and stewed spinach with a velvety, crisp, dryish medium body and a tingling, charming, medium-length finish revealing overtones of obstler, mint, banana cream pie, and orange. A round sweetness to the body of the mead with an uplifting citrus and mint zest.
