Trafalgar Blueberry Mead

Brewed by Trafalgar Brewing
Style: Mead
Oakville, Canada

The grossest alcoholic beverage i have ever tasted. i could not even finish it which ia really bad for me

nose is nice does smell like blue berry, flavor is over carbonated, syruppy sweet, like they are making a mead cooler, i want to like it but just cant

Relatively light in taste and feel for a beer made with real juiced berries AND honey - I detect a little blueberry in the mix, which it is NOT a powerful flavor compliment to the base ale and so has to be accepted as part of the overall effect rather than a distinct feature. Said effect is a light, pleasantly drinkable vaguely fruity ale with a nondescript base ale character and far too much alcohol paying the price for the minimal entertainment. Quality to an extent, but a novelty.

Bottle: Pours a light burgundy with no head. Aroma is sweet alc. and port-like over-ripe fruit. Did I imagine it or was there a bit of flat lager malt aroma under there too? Flavour is tart tannic start, somewhat dry giving way to a wine-cooler sweetness. Not much blueberry and no overpowering syrupy sweetness like the pure mead I’ve tried. The 9% is blended well in the flavour. I will hopefully get to try some of their other flavours as well.

Alcohol and a sweet, fruity nose, but no blueberry, rudy burgundy, no head. Light berry flavour, still no taste of the elusive blueberry. Alcohol is obvious, very sweet indeed. Jeepers!

3 ounce sample shared with family last night- It’s like a purpley-blue if there is such a colour. No head to speak of of course, and it looks like it should be in a shot glass or something. Aroma is mulberries and dark raspberries, but no real blueberry here. Smells like a cooler. Taste is very sweet black raspberries, with lots of fake sugared candy. Whoa, sweeeetness alert. Not my favourite from the trafalgar mead offerings

pours light purple and sparkling. booz, honey and alcoholic aroma and flavou with some faux bluebeery. sweet and thin.

Pours Pink with a fizzy disappearing head. There’s more blackerry than blueberry here and it’s sticky sweet. Too cloying. This is Mead? I certainly hope not!
