Svesse (1811), Hässelby, Sweden Oct 5, 2008 (Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 27 Sep 2008) Pale yellow colour with white, frothy, head. Sparkling. Fruity, vinous nose with flowers and bready notes of sparkling wine or Champagne. Fruity taste with hints of semi-sweet sparkling wine, grass, flowers, honey and bread. Slightly tart and harsh. Quite lively carbonation. Nice and refreshing. Papsoe (10359), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 28, 2008 (Bottle 75 cl) Pours a clear golden with a dense white head. Lightly spicy aroma of spices and herbs. Medium body, sparkling with notes of flowers and spices while the honey touch is very subdued. Almost champagne-like in character. Interesting - my first sparkling mead I believe. 200908 omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Sep 25, 2008 Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Sparkling pale golden. Dryish floral nose.
