Dec 31, 2009 Offered to me at a dinner party, chilled. It had that cider light gold hue with little head. Aroma definitely had those honey notes and a touch of rice and alcohol. The flavor was similar with a slight alcohol burn. I like the sweet honey touch. Not bad.

Oct 15, 2009 Pours pale, clear gold with no head, coats the glass a little when swirled. Aroma is honey comb, ethanol, apple pie filling and a little cedar. Flavor is honey comb, yellow apples, sweet green grapes, light earthy spices, there is a lightly, acidic, vinous quality about it that I cant quite put my finger on as well. Finishes with a little spice and chewed honey comb wax. Palate is medium body with a dry entry and slightly slick finish. I thought it was a little cloying, but otherwise an interesting drink, that wasn’t hugely enjoyable, but might buy again.

Jun 18, 2009 Bottle. Poured a lighter shade or golden more like a cider with no head. Aromas of honey and light alcohol. Sweet flavor of honey and apple. Medium body, smooth. Not very exciting but enjoyable.

Apr 18, 2009 My first ever mead didnt no what to expect Pours very pale with no head. Looks like apple juice. The aroma is a very sweet honey, some apple and spice, and a bit of alcohol. The flavors are very much like the aroma with the apple and honey taking turns vying for my attention. Amazingly the sweetness that ensues does so witout leaving a thick syrupy character. This was nice.

Mar 5, 2009 Bottle. This is the only mead I can find in my area. Being the only mead I have ever tried, I have not much to compare it to. Smells and tastes very sweet. Honey is strong and obvious, so much that when you’re finished, the glass is sticky with honey. Goes down smooth with a very slight bite very similar to wine. I am very fond of this and hope I can find other kinds with more varieties of flavor. Could be a bit drier, but AMAZING when heated with mulling spices.

Dec 25, 2008 In a night of wine, I was given a reprieve with mead. Bottle from a friend of a friend of the the family of my girlfriend. Pours yellowy with no head. Nose is sweet and light and nice with a lot of honey. Taste is sweet, light, and smooth with a basic honey flavor.

Dec 10, 2008 750 ML bottle: Pour is light yellow/golden with a nice sweet wine-like aroma. A nice sweet blossom honey warms the throat after a light bodied, sweet drink goes down. Very smooth and very well balanced. I enjoyed the wet finish on this one. I believed it suited the mead well. My bottle came with spices. Watch out. Their contribution to the mead is fast and unforgiving. I definitely prefer the mead on its own.
