| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 5, 2009 Pours a clear light pale straw with no head. Aroma is pungent floral and spice. Flavor adds lots of honey sweetness, but maintains the massive amount of lavendar. I don’t really have much experience with meads, but this one is quite enjoyable.

Very interesting.
