Jul 2, 2008 Straw colour is, well, a little dull and not terribly enticing. Aroma is very honeyish, lightly spicy (cinnamon) and woody. Sweet flavour with brash honey character kicks things off. Lots of spicy depth. Finishes with an alcoholic kick, vinous acidity, and bursting juicy fruitiness.

Jun 29, 2008 No carbonation on this one. Purs a nice pale yellow. Very strong honey aroma. I know it is fermented, but it’s so sweet you’d almost think they just mixed honey and water and left out the yeast. A little too sweet, but not bad.

Jun 11, 2008 Bottle. Strong honey aroma, no head, rich golden color. A little sweet for my taste, but most meades are. Simple like true meade should be. Well done and enjoyable.

Jun 3, 2008 A golden appearance with no head. A honey, white grape, and slight citrus aroma. The flavor is rather sweet and not very complex with some honey, apples, white grapes, and a slight alcohol presence. Overall it wasnt bad but probably not worth the price.

Apr 28, 2008 Cool blue bottle, produced April 20, 2005. The body is rich pale gold. The aroma is definite honey with some orange hints, but maybe the citrus is my imagination after reading the label. There is also some light peanut brittle. The body is thick and sticky. The taste is fairly sweet at first, but then it turns dry as it slides down the throat. There are definite apple notes with some floral character. There is is also some corn syrup, like Karo. There is some light unsalted roast peanut shell in the finish. A decent medium bodied mead.

Apr 23, 2008 Rich, dark, honey aroma. Shimmering amber, slight viscosity. Thin light mouthfeel, tart, cidery, and almost feels uncarbonated. Rosehip finish. Must be a rhodomel. Very easy going and dark, with a delayed belly burn.

Apr 5, 2008 Clear still gold in color with orange blossom honey aromas and hints of grassy menthol. Semi-sweet honey flavors round to soft fruity touch. Light bodied and smooth with a drying finish. Traditional indeed. Well done in my book....

Mar 7, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, still, pale yellow body.
Smell: Aroma of honey, flowers, aerosol hair products, and those damnable wax lips.
Taste: Sweet honey, oak, and a sharp floral taste. Touch of apple-like fruitiness. More wax lips which bring back memories of divying up things after Halloween, with those wax lips getting chucked straight into the garbage -- they had zero trading value, folks! Near the end you get a grimace-inducing shot of lacquer. Finishes fairly dry.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. No carbonation. Warming alcohol presence.
Drinkability: Finally, my father and I are in complete agreeance on something: this stuff is pretty awful.
