Super clear very light golden coloured body with absolutely no head nor bubbles or any sort of life. Funky aroma of malt, vinegar, lemon zest, rice and a faint bit of sugars. Light-bodied; Strong carbonation up front with a very very mild malty flavour and a short taste of honey. Aftertaste shows a lot of water with some light sweetness going on. Overall, a pretty bad beer...but kind of to be expected. This one really isn’t worth trying, but then again, I’d try another one from them if I could find it! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverages in Albany, New York on 08-April-2006 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Bottle. Pours weak yellow with an aroma of mineral spirits. Flavor is a weird paint mixture with a bizarre fruit essence. Average mouthfeel. Forgettable.

[bottle - 12 oz] Clear and pale yellow with not much head. Some small amount of bubbles. Aroma is candy sweet with hints of honey and some molasses. Flavor is about two seconds worth of honey sweetness, then nothing. The flavor disappears quickly and leaves an aftertaste of watered-down whiskey and plastic. A mead? Not quite sure about that.

Bought this on the specialty shelf, would never have guessed this was a mead. I bought it thinking it was gluten free beer. Pale yellow ubiquitous appearance. Smells like whiskey and water. A little carbonation on the palate, never knew meads had carbonation. Taste is like watered down immature homemade dago wine, with a little fizz. Finish is like whiskey and water on melted ice.

Has a twist off cap with the words "gluten free" tagged on it. Pours a goldeny gold with a goldish tinge. Smells like weird. Tastes like a light lager with some extra sweet and sour sauce in it. I guess it’s ok, but usually this is the kind of novelty item that I would PASS OVER. Haha! Get it?

Yeah. I bought it for the novelty. Pours a clear gold with a decent sized white head at first that falls fairly quickly. Also there are some massive chunks of sediment that I did not expect to have in the bottle, so they ended up in my glass as I just poured everything in. Oops. Nose is like melted or burnt plastic. There is a touch of honey there, but not enough to impress. Flavor is like tart honey and lemon juice. Horrible. I doubt I get through two sips of this. Feel is thick with huge bubbles on it. I almost want to say this tastes like cheap champagne. Not drinkable at all. Avoid. This may have been supervised and blessed by a rabbi, but I doubt that God is going to be giving His thumbs up.
