Produced from a blend of orange, alfalfa, and sage honey.

Presentation: Dark brown bottle, blue synthetic cork. Pours a clear, extremely light yellow. 11% ABV.

Nose: Bread and honey. A hint of oranges.

Taste: Quite sweet. Clear honey taste, medium bready finish.

Overall: Not impressive. Overly sweet, taste is basically honey and alcohol. While the aftertaste isn't horrible, it is somewhat odd. I probably won't be buying this again.
