Commercial Description:
Our traditional meads are somewhat similar to customary honey mead formulas without the boiling process, which delivers a bountiful, robust flavor, but no harshness. Produced with 100% pure honey, with absolutely no artificial flavors or colors added. Lovely honey aroma and taste with grape overtones. This mead is similar to a Late Harvest Riesling, but with an enticing honey taste.

750ml - It’s the palate that really makes the product here. There is no real bouquet, just a vague waxiness. Flavors come and go with an overall honey (big surprise) pleasantness. I like this.

A very basic mead. Slightly on the sour side for my tastes. I detected virtually no aroma.

Why do I continue this? This stuff pours a crystalline color, virtually no color. Aroma reminds me of mint, but not fresh mint, like Scope or something artifical and not pleasant. I am becoming a mead junkie, but these guys are just not my cup of tea.

Bottle... Water-clear mead. Aroma of white wine, honey, camphor and menthol. Cloyingly sweet, medicinal flavor with only a rumor of tanginess. Full-bodied with feather-soft carbonation. Finishes sweet and tart... more sweet than tart.

Courtesy dsnowden. Pours just the lightest light yellow color. Somewhat syrupy looking. Minty aroma. The honey was there with some frutiness. The taste was very sweet. Alot of apple and honey in the flavor. Also got a little bready flavors to it in the finish. The apple really lingers in the finish also with some minty mouthwash flavors too. Drinkabe, but flawed.
