This dry hydromel is hopped with plenty of Cascade and other American hops, giving it a resiny, earthy nose with citrusy tones in the aroma and flavor.
Similar in balance, body, finish and flavor intensity to a well-made dessert wine with a pleasant mixture of honey character, residual sweetness, & soft fruity.
One of the oldest beverages in human history, mead is made from fermenting honey. It was found in Egyptian tombs and Viking societies, and its presence in Ireland is the root of the term “honeymoon” (it was associated with fertility, and so considered a good thing to drink shortly post-marriage).
There are different ways of making and flavoring mead, from sweet to bone-dry and from thick to crisp. The Colony is proud to be a part of the growing mead culture as this very old beverage comes back to the American table in a very new way.
