Ive made a few ciders and now am trying some meads i saw someone talking about pine needle mead I have the right needles next to my house so thought to give it a go.

Its REALLY NASTY. Im not sure where I went wrong the pine needles themselves had a nice citrusy taste so i was hoping for something like that im not sure if it needs to age for a bit I started it june this year. Its at about 10% abv right now. Is there anything I can do to it to fix it or just leave it or dump some fruit in and hope for the best?

Thanks.

Hiya im pretty new to making cider and am wanting some help to tell if this batch has gone bad it smells fine just like cider but im too wary to taste. I have made about 7 ciders so far and realised a few weeks ago a cider I tossed thinking it had gone bad after some googling turned out it hadn't it was just lease ontop so before I make another mistake here I thought id ask some more knowledgeable people. Thanks
