This fruit mead is much more complex that what you'd expect from, well, anything with strawberries.
For starters, the color is a rich amber, more like a spirit than what one would normally find in a wine. The nose carries strawberry, of course, but also strong components of hazelnut and apricot with just a hint of dates. It is lightly sweet on the tongue with a nicely balanced tartness. The flavor shows off its component strawberries, but also carries notes of white cherry, apple, and apricot. The finish is light and fresh, with a lingering touch of hazelnut, vanilla, perhaps even caramel.
