Session
Gingah 7% ABV
DRY: Gingah hides in the shadows, sneakd up and kicks you, letting you know there’s ginger in here, and then sneaks back away into the dark. This guy is sessionable, so be warry; the 7% ABV sneaks up on you too. Perfect lawnmower mead.
Orange Blossom 7% ABV
Bee hives in an orange grove supply the honey for this delicious mead.
BH Cider 3.4% ABV
House-made apple cider! (Not mead.)
Bochet 7% ABV
OFF-DRY: Wild-flower honey carefully caramelized for several hours prior to fermentation.
Red Tamale 5% ABV
SEMI-SWEET: Cinnamon mead.
Grapefruit Hibiscus 6.4% ABV
Wildflower honey mead flavored with hibiscus tea and squeezed grapefruit.
Full Strength
Port of Call 15.1% ABV
Mead made with caramelized wildflower honey, aged in a bourbon barrel for over a year. Reminiscent of a dry port, this mead is meant to be savored.
Synthesis 15.5% ABV
We named this “Synthesis” beacuse it’s a “cyser”, which is a type of mead made from honey + apples. Synthesis was aged 22 months in a Haven Hill barrel that held barleywine for a year. Starts with strong apple notes and slowly fades to a floral honey with a long finish.
A few bottles of I’d Tap That (18% ABV) remain, and are available for takeout or enjoying in the taproom. “I’d Tap That” is orange blossom and maple mead aged in a maple bourbon barrel (Litchfield) for 2 years. Bone dry, yet delightfully balanced. Beautiful oaky-maple and floral finish that just lasts on the palette.
