Dec 4, 2007 A beautifully golden yellow pour with long legs and consistent color.
The aroma is light and flowery, but with a dense honey aroma that weights down the finish.
Actual flavor blossoms from the rich, leathery buckwheat-style honey to a lighter, more fruit-like finish with a definite tang.
Perfect as a digestif!

Sep 21, 2007 750 ml bottle, shared by kmweaver. Pours a clear light gold body with some light legs upon a gentle swirl. Nose is honey and sweet fruits with just a touch of alcohol. The flavor is very sweet, quite like a hybrid of honey and a sweet white wine along the lines of a Vignoles. Mouthfeel is medium-full bodied with a slightly sticky sugaryness. Overall, quite good for my limited mead exposure.

Sep 12, 2007 Sampled from a 750ml bottle shared by kmweaver. Nose of pears and white grapes, very sugary and inviting. Flavor is insanely sweet, but just below cloying. Slick and moderately thick on the tongue, soft and sweet overall, with some sticky, sugary white grapes, pears and light lemon honey flavors. Quite good.

May 21, 2007 During May ’07 brewpub tour, stopped at the winery in Iron River, WI. Pours a light clear yellow chardonnay color. Aroma of earthy dill, wildflower honey, some medicinal herbs and a touch of fruit. Taste is all sweet honey, syrupy, and a touch of flowers. Finish is sweet and a light honey aftertaste. Well done!

Jan 31, 2007 Clear pale gold pour. Medium intensity aroma and flavor of honey. The body is thick with a liquorous texture. Interesting.

Dec 24, 2006 Pours a somewhat viscous transparent water-color with champagne hues. Aroma of sweet clover honey and a mild touch of citrusy grapefruit. Body starts pretty full and sweet with a good tart balance and a smooth, fairly complex white grape and sugar cane finish. Not quite as full and flavorful as Medovina Sweet Melissa or some of the Polish meads, but still quite nice.

Dec 14, 2006 Floral and fruity with notes of dill and lingering honey sweetness subsumed with alcohol. Clear pale golden body is still with spidery legs on the glass. Simple flavour is sweet and displays it’s honey nicely. Notes of lemon verbena, hay and meadow flowers. Sweetness is never overdone or cloying. Dry light-medium body with pleasant alcohol warming. Wine-like and easy to drink. Going away party.
