750mL bottle, courtesy of beastiefan2k. Thanks, Eugene! Pours a clear, light straw color; headless. Loads of honey, vanilla, and slightly oily, dense floral notes; gorgeous nose. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of honey, vanilla, and intense, tempered sweetness upfront; not intensely heavy bodied, but really nice: generous amounts of mouthcoating, sweet honey and vanilla-tinged goodness; really nice mead; lightly spicing. Lengthy finish: honey, vanilla, lots of sweetness and spice.

Bottle. I dont have much to compare this to but i can say this was a very honey sweet vinous body. Next to Jadwiga i thought this was lighter and less intense with a lighter alcohol in the finish, but still something noteworthy. Good stuff.

Somehow a bottle of this ended up at my house. I’m pretty damn psyched it did! Pours still clear/yellow with a nice neck. Smells of honey, alcohol (but welcoming, not overly fusel), some welcoming wildflower hints and some peppery splashes. Taste is a well balanced sweet mead with lots of meadow like hints to offer. A very interesting mead and one of the first I’ve had that is not high octane that is enjoyable and complex.

Well, this is the first mead that I will rate (not including Ramapo Valley Passover beer), I am not as sure about this as beer but I will give it a chance. I have tried a few different meads, inlcuding many hombrews and the Apis Jadwiga. This is a much lighter mead, very easy to drink. I would compare this to an ice wine and extremely tasty without overdoing it.

At the LI Beer Festival. I’ve had several meads and I must say this one is up near the top. Great floral aroma. Sweet, but not excessively so. I wish I had an opportunity to get back to their table and try some of their other meads. This is really excellent stuff.
