My 500th. Lets see if its any good. Pale yellow, no head. Sweet aroma, reminds me almost of champaigne (or however you spell that). *sip* Bleah! Overpoweringly sweet, and I normally like sweet. As it warmed a little bit, the sweetness seemed to mellow a little, and the honey taste started to come through. Still far too sweet to be enjoyable though.

Dec 14, 2008 Listed as Lurgashall English Mead. I have also seen the Celtic Mead available. Pours with a clear golden hue and some small alcohol legs. Aroma is of alcohol, butterscotch and really sweet Sue Bee Honey. Taste is fruity with honey, alcohol, vanilla, almonds, and dried apricots. Very thin mouthfeel for a mead, but preserves a sense of drinkability similar to a fruity sweet white wine.

Oct 22, 2008 My first mead. Initial flavor of clover honey straight through. Slight alcohol taste at the end. Hard to drink more then one glass.

Oct 20, 2008 Poured a golden yellow, crystal clear. Smells of honey, floral, orange, earthiness, very complex aroma. Can’t say the same about the flavor, very, very sweet, I was expecting slightly drier. It was very cloying. I should really stick to rating beer as my mead experience is lacking.

May 13, 2008 This is quite nice, if you follow the instructions and warm it up with the mulling spices. Its very dry all by itself, but the spices add touches of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Apr 16, 2008 Reads English Mead. First mead I’ve ever had, part of a blind beer tasting. Taste of thin honey and smells like petrol. Surprisingly enjoyable and lightly carbonated. Not sure if I could kill the whole bottle.. but it was a good beginners experience - im looking forward to trying more mead! Odin be praised!
