| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Oct 8, 2009 Bottle via a trade with TheCheeseman. Pours a clear gold with minimal legs. Tons of honey and some wax, a touch of butter. Taste is a bit tannic, typical mead honey qualities, dry, strong alcohol burn. Not nearly as pleasant as the aroma. Light effervescence, thin palate. Finishes with dry white wine acidity. blutt59 (2107), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 12, 2009 This bottled mead from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of clear colored bubbles that were quickly diminishing and left behind a transparent uncarbonated dark yellow colored body. The strong aroma was all honey. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and mediumly tingly at the finish. The flavor contained notes of soft sweet honey at the start, stronger at the finish and dry all around. An OK mead just nothing special. beerbill (1949), Laurel, New York, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 7, 2009 750 ml bottle. Pours a clear medium gold with no head. This is a still mead. Pleasant aroma of sweet honey that is fairly well concentrated. The flavor is earthy honey with no sweetness to speak of, which is in sharp contrast to the aroma. Becomes fairly dry towards the finish. The lack of sweetness and the dry finish honestly took me a bit by surprise given the sweet smelling aroma, which may explain some of the wide swings in the ratings.
