Golden Honey, Orchard Apples, and the Spice of Autumn
What does this mead taste like? Apple Pie Semi-Sweet cyser blends the crisp fruitiness of cider apples with the smooth sweetness of honey. At 12.5% ABV, it carries both body and refinement, with aromas of fresh apples, cinnamon, and clove. Each sip reveals a balance of bright apple, rich honey, and gentle spice, finishing semi-sweet with a lingering echo of apple pie.
And now for the possibly funny, possibly serious, possibly irreverent flowery description....
Autumn doesn’t arrive on a calendar. It arrives with a scent, like fresh apples and warm spice, and the clink of a glass raised before the orchard sunset. This semi-sweet cyser captures that moment perfectly: part orchard harvest, part honey mead, all wrapped in a golden glow. Fermented with fresh-pressed apple cider and rich honey, this 12.5% cyser balances boldness and beauty. Classic apple pie spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove lift the aroma with nostalgic warmth, while the flavor offers a gently spiced sweetness backed by bright apple acidity and the silky richness of honey. A late addition of raw honey after fermentation preserves floral and fruity aromatics, making every glass a fragrant celebration.
