Oct 30, 2009 Bottle at redlight redlight. Bright and golden with then legs. A lot of dry sauvignon blanc in the nose. Behind that some sweeter notes like unferment white grape juice. Hints of honey. It is actually drier than it is sweet. Just a tad tart. Similar to a dry white wine, but a tad sweeter and a tad richer and creamier. Great mouth feel.

Oct 30, 2009 Honey and grapes on the nose, tropical fruits, strawberry, melon, apples, white grape juice, a fruity white wine on the nose. Pours clear gold, still. Honey upfront with a spiciness, similar characteristics to a sauvignon blanc. Very nice light to medium body, not overly sweet finishes fairly dry. Very good!

Aug 24, 2008 A light golden mead. The aroma is very powerful with dominating notes of honey as well as light notes of grapes. The flavor is also very powerful with strong notes of both honey and white wine, and the body is powerful too - no wonder at 12% ABV.

Feb 6, 2004 2003 production. No head (still). Body is light yellow. Aroma is notes of honey, celery, green olive, white wine. Flavor is heavily sweet, moderately acidic. Finish is moderately sweet, moderately acidic. Medium body, watery (almost syrupy) texture, flat carbonation, moderately alcoholic. Interesting aroma and decent flavor balance, but the alcohol burns a bit more than other meads I've had.
