Glad to hear. I have so many old Pips bottles that I’ve been trying to drink through with minimal success. Some have not held up so well, others are still decent, but nothing mind blowing.
Ohhh boy. Guess my “advent calendar” this year will be “Oops! all Pips”

Misbeehavin Log-O-Rythm is a pleasant strawberry & red currant mead. Would drink again.

Maniacal Twigs and Berries has 1-2 things too many going on. Pretty sure I am the only one in my friend group who enjoys lavender and I wanted to like this one but it was a bit much. Especially when it was the 7th ingredient after the honey.

Nope. Smells like peanuts and polish remover.

I have had this like 3 times in the last month. This is as rich of a banana mead as I can handle but I do like it.

I liked this better than everyone else here. Has lovely blackberry flavor that overtakes the meadowfoam.

There is a lot of honey masking how acidic this is, but I liked this a lot. Like a candied orange peel.

The best of the new Halloween offerings from Standard. Tastes as advertised. A variation on their strawberry coconut dreamsicile.

Too much gum

I did not have high hopes for this and it tastes like a perfect Chocolate Fizz. Loved it.

Last year’s batch. Tastes better than I remember. I think I still prefer Ecto Cooliner, but this is nice.

This was pleasant and reminds me of Luxardo cherries but I couldn’t have a lot of it.

This is all backsweetening. Very Florida. All honey. No fruit.

Whalesbrah. A modern black raspberry mead would taste less thin, but this is still really excellent. Love it.

No one admitted to bringing this. This was the cashew lite batch.
IMG_8927.jpeg
This was super un-balanced. No thanks.
IMG_8928.jpeg
This was not my favorite fresh. I still don’t love it but it’s just acidic,
IMG_8929.jpeg
Another luxardo cherry tasting mead. Fine but nothing special.
IMG_8931.jpeg
Tastes good still but the aroma is pure autolysis.
IMG_8932.jpeg
Really well balanced. Sweet but also a fair amount of acidity.

Older Second City bottle. Not my favorite flavor combo.
IMG_8934.jpeg
I think we have reached the point in the share where things no longer stand out. Oops! Sorry. I tried.
IMG_8935.jpeg
I was warned to not enjoy this, but aside from being a little too sweet, I liked it.
IMG_8937.jpeg
Tayberry is nice. Good thing I have this at home.

A bochet.
