Getting watermelon, but a strong lingering astringency/dirt flavor. Most likely a fermentation flaw

Major C is drinking a Watermelon Melomel 2018 by Backyard Laboratory at Untappd at Home
I'm not a big fan of this batch. I'm still trying to get a handle on mead making. Future batches will have stricter temperature controls during fermentation and closer monitoring during bulk aging before bottling.
