Jun 14, 2009 Bottle sampled at Noog Four-0 5/31/08 shared by aracauna: Pours a pale champagne golden with nice sticky, clingy legs. Aroma of sweet, juicy Bartlett pears with light citrus and floral honey. Body starts effervescent and semi-sweet with a light fruity flavor and a dry semi-tart finish. A pretty nice mead.

Aug 18, 2008 A pale yellow color with no head. The aroma is honey, booze, and some cinammon. The flavor is sweet with some honey, pears, and assorted spices. Nothing special but it was ok.

Dec 26, 2007 Pours a clear gold and this is the first sparkling mead I can think of from Medovina. The pears are pretty subtle in this. The aroma actually starts out with a bit of a sulfury note. There’s the typical floral quality of a good mead and a slight heat in the finish.
