Commercial Description:
Style: Traditional
Traditional meads celebrate pure honey. This mead has no fruit, herbs, or spices added.
Ingredients Include: Colorado Water, Orange Blossom Honey, Wildflower Honey, Montrachet Yeast, and The Love!
Process: In order to preserve the delicate honey flavor, we pasteurize rather than boil.
Swing Top: Our resealable bottle preserves the quality of the mead more effectively than recorking a bottle. Reuse or recycle.
Serving Temperature: We suggest serving slightly chilled. However, feel free to excperiment as different nuances are revealed at different temperatures. Unfiltered, may contain sediment.

A hazy light yellow mead. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of honey. The flavor is sweet spicy combined with notes of honey as well as lighter notes of citrus and a slight acidity.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
