Shared by Skyview. I do like mead but this one was not so good. Clear appearance, which is fine. Light honey aroma. Just a little sweet in the flavor, with sort of an astringent quality that I didn’t care for. On the thin side for palate as well.

[bottle] shared by skyview. Pours nearly perfectly clear with no head. Aroma is sweet honey and some alcohol. Mouthfeel is a little thinner than it probably should be. Not too hot, but the alcohol lingers on the finish. Overall a pretty drinkable mead.

(bottle, thanks Skyview) Pours completely clear, and as OSLO said, it looks like water. Light aroma of honey, with a hint of raisin. The taste is like grape kool-aid with an odd finish that isn’t too pleasing. Light mouthfeel.

[Bottle, thanks Skyview] Looks like water--and I mean this really does look exactly like water. Aroma is sweet, plasticy with the obvious honey. Taste is also very sweet with honey and very little else going on. I don’t even know what else to say about this mead--really not very good though.
