Poured a truly beautiful darker orange/amber... nice legs. The nose is big honey, slightly vinuous, dust and light alcohol,better than it sounds probably. A very, very drinkable mead, remarkably soft. Honey, prosecco-like notes (maybe grapes), some gummi bears and alcohol. Very warming. Definitely very, very enjoyable. Man, Apis really does some great stuff. GodOfThunder (866), Orlando, Florida, USA

Crystal clear golden color with no head. Aroma is strong on the alcohol, with the honey hidden in the back. The taste is floral, with the expected honey. Good, but strong on the alcohol.

Light clear amber color, no head. Light aroma of sweet honey, clover, hay and cardboard. Full-bodied. Loads of honey and sugar - liquid sweetness. Hints of some berries. Splendid mead.
