What does this mead taste like? Phantom Spice Semi-Sweet Pumpkin Mead is a golden-amber semi-sweet mead brewed with real pumpkin and spiced with the flavors of pumpkin pie. At 8.1% ABV, it offers a smooth balance of honey sweetness, roasted pumpkin richness, and warming spice notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger.

And now for the possibly funny, possibly serious, possibly irreverent flowery description....
In the fading glow of autumn, when shadows grow long and whispers stir at the edges of the harvest fields, a glass of Phantom Spice beckons. Golden-amber in hue, this semi-sweet pumpkin mead carries with it the spirit of the season, warm spice, honeyed depth, and the lingering trace of something unseen. Fermented to 8.1% ABV with real pumpkin and infused with classic pumpkin pie spices, it opens with aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg drifting like smoke from an unseen hearth. The flavor balances smooth honey sweetness with roasted pumpkin richness and a medley of pumpkin pie spice, where the flavors linger like ghostly fingers brushing the edge of your sleeve. Neither cloying nor dry, this mead finds its home between, offering a balanced sweetness that warms without overwhelming. Sip it by firelight, serve it alongside autumn feasts, or share it in the hush of a haunted evening. Every glass carries a touch of harvest magic and the phantom spice of the season.
