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.

12 oz bottle. I picked up a few of these for a gluten-intolerant friend... she then accused me of trying to kill her. Goddamn, this stuff is nasty. Hazy pale amber. Rancid aroma of motor oil, dirty fusely higher alcohols and cheap honey. Flavour is cidery, band-aidy with notes of burned rubber. So many off-flavours that it’s tough to decide whether or not to list them or just let the numbers speak for themselves.
