Meads
Washington’s Folly – Cherry
Semi-sweet. Subtle cherry flavor. Hint of tart on the backend. Nice fruity nose. It seemed very cider-like to me. 6%
Rethinker – Dry-Hopped Blueberry
This was my second favorite mead of the day. It had a subtle hopped/citrus flavor up front, which gave it a refreshing feel. Light on the blueberry flavor, which shows up on the back end. Light hopps on the nose. I’m not a fan of hoppy beers but really enjoyed this. Pink. 6% ABV
Tom Thumb – Italian Plum
This mead had a heavier mouthfeel than many of the others. Everything about this drink was subtle. It had a hint of plum flavor, a touch of sweetness. I want to use the word non-descript, but in a positive way. It was quite pleasant, just not in your face about it. It had a cider-like quality to it. Very faint yellow coloring. Nearly transparent. 6% ABV
Live Currant – Black Currant
This had a prominent fruity nose. Very bold berry flavor. The perfect blend of tartness and sweetness. Nice acidity that makes your mouth water. Rich purple coloring. This was the stand out favorite for me. 6% ABV
Breakfast Magpie – Black Raspberry Espresso
I did not have the chance to try this, as I went with the enhanced version below in my flight. 8% ABV
Cacao Cinnamon Magpie – Breakfast Magpie infused with Cinnamon and Cacao Nibs
This is the same as the above, with some added spices infused. It had a strong coffee flavor. Slight sweetness. Coffee nose with a hint of chocolate. Touch of bitterness on the backend. Hint of cinnamon. Purple/brown coloring. I’m not a huge fan of coffee, but this was still nice. 8% ABV
Ciders
Johnny Chapman – Heirloom Apples, Sorghum
Moderate sweetness with a rich, complex apple flavor. Light and refreshing. 6% ABV
