Apis Trójniak Bernardyński

Brewed by Spółdzielnia Pszczelarska Apis
Style: Mead
Lublin, Poland

Nice golden color with an aroma quite similar to its larger bretheren - gentle honey, floral essences, light spice and fruit too. Flavor is lighter with some floral, wildflower honey notes and light fruit. Nice feel. Really not bad, but when you’ve had their Poltorak and Dwojniak, why settle for the weaker stuff?

Deep golden pour with a ton of lace. Aroma was strong sweet honey with a light spice and medium alcohol aroma. Real smooth taste with a sweet, but not too sweet, finish. I detected a little bit of chokeberry juice in the flavor but not too much. I liked this one but I’ve had better. It could have used more flavor in my opinion.

I wanted to like this as I have enjoyed the other mead from the meadery.....but it was too sweet and cloying...I agree with weeheavy...tree sapish

Bottle from kryptic on 8/7/08. Opened at alohaCs 2008 end of the year tasting. For some reason I’ve not been eager to open this. I loved Apis Jadwiga mead, but now I find high ABV sweet beers difficult to drink more than just a small taster. Bring on the light sours please! Kind of woody bourbon back of the throat aroma and throat burn. Some apple in the aroma, like a cider, but its a mead.

Bottle wetherel brought to the holiday tasting at AlohaCs. Pours gold with a bubbly head. Nose is like honey mixed with tree sap. Taste is full of honey but bitter, and less good than other meads from this fantastic meadery.

[Bottle] Pours a flat golden honey color. Very berry aroma with some sweet honey. Lots of chokecherry and golden raisin flavor. A bit dry, boozy, and slightly grapey.

Bottle. Appearance is the color of reddish bronze. Flavor reminded me of sherry. It tasted as if it had been aged and had a musty finish. It had a smooth, slightly syrupy mouthfeel.
