Mead #3. Clear, deep gold. A very moderate lace ring. Astonishingly impotent apple jam in the air. A pinch of juniper is, in turn, present. The taste deviates from the beaten track: apple is almost absent. Instead, I'm spotting juniper and ginger, followed by distant cinnamon. Interesting. A medium body only. Spiced, zippy, fragrant. Not mainstream.
