Sep 14, 2006 Bottle from Super Saver. Pours chill hazy morning urine colored, with no apparent head. Aroma is of honey, chardonnay, apple, some plastic. Tastes soemwhat medicinal at first, with the honey, pear, Granny Smith apple, and berry notes coming in later. Not bad, but not worth the price I paid.

<P>
Honey dominates the aroma, but there are hints of sweet smelling nectar flowers. Clear to light gold with no head. Honey with waxy notes reminiscent of the honey comb itself. Some floral notes as well and ample alcohol.

Jun 27, 2005 Bottle... Clear, light yellow mead. Lots going on in the aroma... vanilla, fresh wildflowers, mandarin orange peel, eucalyptus and honey. Sweet, woodsy flavor with notes of chardonnay and tart lemon. Medium-bodied and oily with feather-soft carbonation. Leaves the mouth semi-dry.

Nov 2, 2004 Production date on bottle: February 6, 2003. This is only the second mead I’ve had, the other one being Apis Jadwiga--obviously not your "everyday" mead--and so I was unprepared for how hugely "honey" the aroma was. Intriguing but still a simple honey aroma, with something plastic-like, like the experience of opening a Star Wars action figure when I was a little boy. Very light yellow color. Thin palate, not at all syrupy or thick (again an unfair comparison to Jadwiga).

Oct 21, 2004 Bottle. Light honey gold body. Nose is strong of honey. The flavor is a very nice mellow honey sweetness. It has a slightly plastic, kind of astringent flavor, but it is overall very, very nice. Good alcohol warming as it goes down.

Oct 4, 2004 GABF2004... Poured a pale gold color with no head (still). Sweet aroma with an element of cobwebs. The aroma confused me a bit. Sweet honey, with less complexity than the juniper honey wine.

Aug 25, 2004 No head (still). Body is light yellow. Aroma is notes of honey, orange, flowers, and alcohol (slightly fusel in character, unfortunately). Flavor is heavily sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is moderately sweet, moderately acidic. Medium to full body, syrupy texture, flat carbonation. A decent mead but there are much better out there...I’ve been told that this mead wins medals for similar reasons that certain beers win at GABF...for being within rigid parameters more so than being a great mead. After having a number of Polish meads and the wonderful local Medovina mead, I think I could be convinced of the veracity of such a claim.

Aug 16, 2004 This is my first mead. I must confess that for $20 a bottle I expected this to be better than it was. It’s certainly not awful but it’s not all that great either. Pours a nice chardonnay sort of color. No carbonation. Nose is slightly offensive. Smells a little off. Taste is excellent. The sweetness of honey and the sharpness of yeast. Not bad flavor. G-rat
