Feb 26, 2008 Updated: Aug 22, 2008"English Mead" version. Clear and pale white-gold. Spicy-sweet honey, earthy grape, and perfumed talcum powder in the aroma. Flavor is best described in the same way. Slightly dry on the finish. Alcohol not too overpowering for 12.5%, but does warm the gullet nicely.

Feb 6, 2008 The aroma is almost non-existent... small traces of alcohol. Looks like watered-down urine. Flavor.. much like a white wine with honey flavor. A typical mead. It’s smooth on the palate and gets better the longer it’s open. Overall, I think I like it. Goes well with Sushi.

Dec 29, 2007 As "English Mead". (Sampled from a bottle at Sjätte tunnan, Stockholm) Clear golden color, no head. Very sweet honey scent. Also distinct honey taste. Smooth full mouthfeel, sweet aftertaste. Warming alcohol.

Nov 25, 2007 Mushroomy, honey and rubber smell. Clear yellow color. Light honey flavor, weak with no complexity. Boring.

Nov 3, 2007 375 ml bottle labelled as "English Mead." Pours a clear pale gold with no head. This is a still mead. Pleasant floral and honey aroma. The flavor is less enticing than the aroma, with some light honey flavors and that’s about it. Bit of a bite at the finish. Very average and frankly not all that memorable.

Oct 21, 2007 Aroma is yeasty as all get out! The appearance is beautiful, gold and thick like honey. This has the taste of alcohol and spoiled fruit juice. Sorry old chaps, not good.

Oct 1, 2007 First shot at mead. Aromas of perfume, nut (like almond paste), oak, solvent and wet cement. Color is clear light yellow. Started sweet and finished sweet with a slight tart/acetic taste. Palate is silky. To me this would be a good apertif or substitute for a desert wine

Sep 22, 2007 750, corked. Thanks, Luiss! This was a fun change of pace. Pours luminescent gold with very little variegation or any other visual featuring. Smells very floral and honey-ish; I struggled to pick up bits of grass and lemon but I really think I was smelling into it rather than receiving. It’s sweet and a bit tart, a bit slick but not quite sticky on the tongue. This would be fun to mull. Winter’s nearly here; it may be time to start hitting up more meads.
