Feb 19, 2007 750 ml bottle, dated 4/20/05. Pours a slightly cloudy dark yellow with no head.
The aroma is sweet honey and floral cloves.
The flavor is a little orange fruitiness, some spicy cloves and then sweet honey. It has some sharper acidic wine-like alcohol and a dry finish. The alcohol helps balance out the honey sweetness. The mouthfeel is thick and syrupy with no carbonation.
Overall, I liked it. I don’t have much experience with meads but would like to try more. This was one of the ones I liked best at Redstone (other than the much more expensive reserves). A little expensive at $20 per 750ml.

Dec 21, 2006 I really didnt know what to focus on rating my second mead. poured light golden color with no carbonatation, which i expected. A sweet aroma with some almost peppermint notes. Taste was sweet with honey and faint orange and berry notes. A slight peppermint note as well. Alcohol seemed hidden.

Dec 10, 2006 From the swing top bottle at thedm’s. This mead smelled like honey and hair spray and was a still, very pale yellow-white color. Lots of raw honey sweetness with some oak. It was too sweet, like those Smarties candies.

Dec 5, 2006 This pretty blue flippy top bottled mead from a bottle shop was made on 12/22/04 and poured a clear head with no bubbles and a transparent uncarbonated light yellow-white colored body with no lacing. The aroma was of honey and wax. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and strongly tingly at the finish. The flavor contained notes of thin honey and dry in the finish. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again. There are much better meads out there.

Dec 3, 2006 bottle at the Fort Wayne tasting - Pours golden with a pleasant honey aroma. I’m very inexperienced with mead, but I don’t taste a lot going on with the flavor other than the enjoyable honey sweetness. I found the palate to be medium bodied and easy to drink. Hey, it was better than the only other mead I’ve tried. hah.

Sep 19, 2006 Very good light golden color.The aroma has a nice honey side with some slight tones of fruit in maybe a hint of pear or perhaps some over ripe apple.Light bodied mead with a very nice honey flavor not overly sweet in taste with a few hints at fruit in the back ground and just plain pleasant.I wouldn’t go so far as to say this is some outstanding mead,but it manages to hold it’s own quite well and would make a nice warmer on a cold night with a little light mulling spice.
