- Flavor: "Tastes like medicine!" was my son's comment. That's about right. This has a strong, bitter, molasses-like flavor. The bitterness of the buckwheat comes through and would probably pair well with buckwheat pancakes (although I haven't tried it). Thanks to Geoffrey and Alessandra for this gift.

- Flavor: I suspect this fireweed honey may include a good amount of clover honey as well since it tastes very much like clover. There is a strong note of something else that is reminiscent of dried pineapple (thanks Marina Marchese for the tip). And a big thanks to Lorrie and Dan for the gift of this honey.
