Frontier Mead Review
Made by Meridian Hive Meadery of Austin, TX.
7533c424b15957d2477e85098e17ee3d.jpg

From the bottle: "...a refreshing light body, a clean honey flavor,and a tropical fruit bouquet, with just enough sweetness to balance Meridian hops."

Style - 7% ABV session mead, carbonated hop metheglin. Chilled.

Found - Total Wine in Plano, TX.

Tasting Environment - Home in McKinney, TX in a glencairn glass.

Appearance - Golden with a slightly cloudy appearance. Petulant.

Aroma - Tropical flower aroma. Extremely perfumed. A bit of grape aroma as well.

Flavor - First, you get flowers from the hops, then an off dry honey/ grape-like sweetness. A slight carbonic bite with an off dry finish.

Mouthfeel - Light body (as advertised), but the carbonation helps hide it. It finishes off dry just as indicated on the bottle.

Overall - I love this mead. I would buy it for the perfumed aroma alone. Add to that a wonderful honey taste with a perfect balance of all elements and you've got a real winner. Buy this mead!

Meridian Hive has some good meads. Frontier is one of my favorites. I've also had their Discovery, Haven, and a couple of others. They use Orange Blossom honey for most of their 7% meads. I like their bottle art too.They have won medals at the Mazur Cup the past two years.

I spent a couple of days there asking questions and learning a little about a commercial meadery operation. Nice guys and very talented.
