mkobes (2103), paramus, New Jersey, USA Mar 22, 2008 Bottle. Golden yellow in color with no head. Spicy boozy aroma. Fruity appley flavor. Very hot. Dry. Not good. Finish is appley and dry. Ok. MaxxDaddy (261), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA Feb 12, 2008 Bottle shared by EDA. Pours golden yellow. Extremly astringent on the nose, with honey and apple coming out. Apple? I don’t get it. Anywho, this one was very boozy and somewhat buttery, to go along with that odd apple taste. Where did the honey go in this mead? Minerally as well with no carbonation at all. Not a good start for the mead category. puzzl (2579), New York, New York, USA Jan 29, 2008 Bottle shared by EDA. Boozy, clove aroma, way too hot. A bit of an odd bite, stinging bee honey. Totally dried out. As it warms, it becomes worse and worse, and eventually becomes undrinkable. Yuck. golubj (1275), Sunnyvale, California, USA Jan 27, 2008 Bottle, thanks EDA. Clear, soft yellow in appearance; like white grape juice. The aroma is earthy honey, and the flavor is the same. Dry kind of like white wine. JoeMcPhee (4893), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Jan 27, 2008 Pale straw colour. Absolutely still. Aroma is mostly of wildflower honey. Dusty, dry palate. Light astringency. Flabby and flat. Buh. notalush (2628), Denver, Colorado, USA Jan 27, 2008 Thanks to EDA for sharing - Wow, even the name of this stuff sucks - clear gold - alcoholic aroma, with medium honey sweetness and not much else - apples and alcohol in the flavor - some dry white wine character tries to make it interesting, but this is mostly astringent and medicinal. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA Jan 26, 2008 Bottle. Smells like fermented apples. Taste is worse with a medicinal rotten apple taste. Fuckin awful. moejuck (1165), Ohio, USA Nov 2, 2007 At the pub. This stuff was terrible. Mead is one of my favorite styles and this is simply a poor example of this wonderful drink. Light yellow in color, with a faint honey aroma. The flavor was very thin and the taste was musty and stale. A horrible experience.
