Caramel, toffee, apples and of course maple syrup is what will come to mind when sipping this mead. But it is not as sweet as you may think! Though combining NH wildflower honey and pure NH maple syrup does sound sweet, it finishes clean with a low residual sugar, a light balance of acidity and a velvet, almost buttery mouthfeel. There are many reasons this mead has won Sap House Meadery a bronze medal at the Finger Lakes International WineCompetition in 2011! In the mead world, honey-wine made with maple syrup is called an Acerglyn. Recommended Temperature: Iced, chilled, room, warmed, mulled.

    Started talking mead at a brew crew meeting and a visiting friend asked about brewing maple syrup. "Oh yeah, people do that," I said. "In fact, there are some on the menu here." So I ordered one to celebrate my new Beer Idol status and we shared it among ourselves. Golden yellow and clear, not really carbonated but has a kind of chewiness to it, perhaps from the black tea. I'd have liked some fizz. There's not much scent or flavor of black tea. The aroma is piney and cider vinegar tart, yet very sweet. All of the flavor descriptions used around the table were woody: piney, oaky. Sweet with just a little tartness and fruit.
