Jan 26, 2008 Bottled on July 12, 2006. My first mead that I have rated, hence I probably don’t know what I am talking about. Aroma has honey, clove and cinnamon in it, with a little bit of woodiness and maybe a hint of white wine. As far as appearance goes, I really have no idea how to seperate a good mead from a bad one. So a 3? Flavor stays in the mouth for a while and ends on a sourish note. Maybe a little bit of orange rind in the taste. Some of my friends who had it with me couldn’t stand it, some liked it (but then again none of them have had mead before, let alone rate it). Goes down like wine; watery with no carbonation and a moderate alcohol presence on the finish. Not bad for the cheapest traditional mead at the store.

Dec 15, 2007 I like mead done this way. Thin, sweet, but not cloying. Pure honey. This is probably my favorite mead so far.

Jun 25, 2007 Beautiful cobalt blue bottle with ceramic flip-top. Pours a slightly hazy, pale yellow-gold with no head. Pleasant honey and floral aroma. Flavor is honey with a touch of citrus. I would call this mead semi-sweet, although it does dry out a bit at the finish. A solid and enjoyable mead.

May 8, 2007 A straight forward Mead, its sweet aroma with mild citrus notes. feels a tad on the medium tongue feel. The taste is light honey, slight carbonation and a tangy sensation. A great mead to start off with

May 8, 2007 The aroma has the requisite honey along with flowers, yeast, and alcohol. The appearance is yellow and slightly cloudy. The flavor is proper for a mead with the sweet honey dominating but without being cloying. The other elements are present as well as some wood and fruit. The palate is thin but right for the style. Overall it’s very refreshing with a dryer finish than expected.
