Carlsberg Sverige Svea Viking Mjöd

500 ml bottle. Dark reddish body with a thin off-white head. Aroma is honey, heather and flowers. Flavor is very sweet honey with a hint of citrus. I really don’t like this to much but I wouldn’t really say its bad neither. Just not very complex.

(50 cl bottle from Systembolaget) Clear deep red to dark brown color, big tan head. Very floral and sweet perfumy mixed with lemon scent. It’s more like enetring a perfume store than sniffing a mead. It’s not that the smell is un-pleasant, but it doesn’t smell like something I want to put in my mouth. Well, I did, but I almost regret it. A mix of perfume and roasted malt, leaving a floral perfumy pot-purri aftertaste. This one I can’t bare to have any more of, it will go down the drain. Terrible stuff. Spritzy mouthfeel and no bitterness. Pretty much utterly disgusting. The label on the bottle states "Contains: water, malt, hops, yeast and aroma of honey" Sounds to me they didn’t even put real honey in there. Stay away from this piece of crap.

Bottle. Dark golden colour with an off-white head. Aroma is citrus and honey. Flavour is citrus, honey, malt.

Bottled. Clear, dark golden with a nice off-white head and some carbonation. Honey dominates the aroma, but not in a pleasant way at all, and is followed by notes of heather and lemon. The flavor is weaker, but honey and lemon are there too. Thin, papery and a bit sticky mouthfeel and a finish with lemon and honey-sweetness with some hops. Is this one really selling? (070104)

Looks decent when poured into the glass. But a thick, overwhelming aroma of honey quickly spreads in the room, and it gets even worse in the mouth. Could only drink 1/3 of the bottle. Terrible.
