Small sample at OSLO and Guerde’s tasting on Friday, 5-23-08. Yellow color. Nice, fruity, honeyish aroma. I definitely tasted the maple and really enjoyed this mead.

OSLO and Guerde’s Memorial Weekend Tasting, 5/23/08. Another big thanks to Skyview for helping me kill off all of White Winter’s meads! Light yellow color. Very faint honey aroma with some woodiness. I was wondering if there really was any maple syrup in this, until I tasted it. Strong maple flavor. Very sweet, almost cloying. A bit of clover honey. Nicely done.

Bright still straw colored liquid. No legs. Light apple and honeysuckle with a touch of boiled pasta in the aroma. Very simple aromas with nothing very inviting or bold. Light and smooth on the palate. Sweet apple honey with a touch of maple sap, complete with a touch of wood. Simple sweet elixir. A decent dessert mead.

ABR. Honey naturally on the aroma and body. Sweet mouthfeel. Barely there maple flavor.

Autumn Brew Review ’07
This would be my first rated Mead, although I recall sampling a Mead at RBSG this year, and didn’t rate it because my palate was shot. What I get out of this mead is honey, subtle maple, bark. Very solid and relatively easy drinking mead.

At the 2007 ABR. Very light maple, barely perceptible. I wasn’t very excited about this but they did a good job. Sweet honey aroma. Lots of carbonation on this mead. Just a touch of barnyard, country character. Quite sweet.

[Draft, ABR ’07] Pours golden. The aroma is apple, honey, a little maple syrup--very sweet. Medium mouthfeel. Didn’t like it quite as much as the blueberry, but still was quite nice.

Sampled at the 2007 Autumn Brew Review in Minneapolis, MN. Pours a clear, very light reddish brown wine liquid that has some syrupy texture to it. Aroma of sweet honey with a slight burnt brown sugar and maple syrup. The honey is more prominent than the maple syrup. Taste is smooth, a little syrupy with a good balance of maple syrup and honey mead. Finish is sweet with more of a honey flavor than the maple syrup. Another fine mead from White Winter for the autumn season.
