Munro Dry Mead

Brewed by Munro Meadery
Style: Mead
Alvinston, Canada

Bottle- Pours transparent yellow/gold. The nose is of toned down honey and white wine and hints at grass and gooseberry. Tastes of slightly sweet honey with floral and grassy components, leading to mineral and white wine. Nice, comparatively dry finish when considering the other meads they make. Certainly the most approachable of the bunch, though I liked all of them so far.

Clear w/ yellowish hue. Dry, fruity white wine aroma. Medium, somewhat oily feel. Wine-like flavour w/ mild notes of honey. Dry, slightly medicinal finish.

Strong sweet aroma, light yellow, alcohol taste is noted , sweet and dry, fine. Thank You tupalev.

Bottle shared with a bunch of folks at Doug’s - courtesy of tupalev. Very pale golden. Warm, boozy nose with a hint og fruity sweetness. Light wine flavour with a hint of honey in the finish. Bit more flavour than the regular version, and a milder finish - but it still doesn’t wow me.

Bottle. Pretty much looks like water with a slight yellow tinge and no head. Some sugar and reasonably fruity aroma. Cake-ish, cookie-like flavours with a lot of alcohol heft. I like this better than the last couple as it was much drier and more flavourful. The alcohol really shines through which cuts the drinkability overall.

Item #5 at June 2006 Toronto cider/mead -fest - bottle from tupalev. Almost clear (had a yellow tinge), flat and oily-looking. Light boozy-sweet aroma, vague honey, wine and fruit. Taste is the same - really tries to be fruity, winds up just watery - but at least it’s not boozy and harsh than their regular mead - a little sticky, but easy to drink.

My bottle mail order direct from the meadery, held in my cellar for 4 months before Doug’s tasting. Very light, no head. Fruity aroma. Dry taste, much more flavourful than the regular mead. Very fruity finish. More like a wine than a mead. Ok.

Very pale yellow body. Very light citrus in the aroma may be imaginary. Wine like honey aroma. Light flavour with light notes of fruit and honey. Average palate.
