Meaghan’s first batch of mead, ever. Mistakes were made, and it smelled like trash and gasoline for the first few months, but after three years of aging, it ended up tasting pretty good! Sweet pineapple with a hell of a kick. The mead got darker as time passed, until it was the color the honey began as (see last photo, pineapple mead on the right, mesquite traditional on the left). Finished drinking around April 2021.
