Clear, pale gold color. Sweet aroma of honey. Taste is like a bad white wine. Not drinkable or enjoyable.

2006 bottle. Very light golden color - still, no legs to speak of. Aroma has some pleasant floral-honey in the nose with light berries. Flavor has a light honey character with some flowers and light fruit. A bit of heat left over as well. Not bad, just a bit thin. I should try heating this one up a bit.

750 ml clear glass corked bottle. From my cellar. 2002 on cork. Six years old then, at least. Poured out a clear golden yellow color, with some slight dregs in the bottom of the bottle. Aromas are of fresh pears, McIntosh apples, slight sulfur. Flavors are of sweet summer fruits, mostly pears & apples. Slick mouthfeel, sweet flavors throughout. My first mead rating, & I’m not disappointed.

Fruity along with a possible bit of diacetyl (although I couldn’t quite tell if it where just a strange fruitiness from the honey. I’m not sold on that bit.) Sweet, a little grapey.

(750 ml bottle (2005) from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maryland/baltim target=blank>Wells Discount Liquors) More sourish than honeyish...Pours clear and quite pale golden. Still. Aroma is sourish along with something off, kind of plasticy. Mouthfeel light, thinnish, fairly sticky feeling finish and aftertaste. Bits of sloppy "legs". Flavor is a bit sourish and somewhat yeasty. Bit of a cough syrup quality. Sweetens a bit as it warms but difficult to pick out a honey flavor. Not too good.

Okay, so I’m on vacation and all I find is bmc so jokingly while pickeled I ask, "got any Mead" to which the girl at the bar says "yup keep it here just for gram" This was my first mead and I don’t know much about it, so I’ll say what I know. Aroma was a nice honey smell. Served in a wine glass, pale golden. Flavor was fruit and honey. Palate was light and clean. Overall good since I’m not familiar at all with mead.

Aroma is pure honey, with no yeast or alcohol. Pale gold and crystal clear. Flavor is honey upfront, but with some nice fruit notes, particularly apple. Fades into a pleasant honey and fig aftertaste. Light to medium bodied.
