Honeywood Winery Reviews

superspak	4 Honeywood Winery Mead Saturday, June 4, 2016
BuckeyeBoy	3.4 Honeywood Winery Blackberry Mead 750ml bottle pours out a light plum pink color. Nose is honey sweetness some blackberry notes and a little booze. Taste is more of the blackberry tart and the honey sweetness makes it pretty good. Not a great mead but its America we haven’t made anything that stands up against the polish meads yet.

authenticmead	2.6 Honeywood Winery Mead Way too sweet. The winemaker apparently didn't even try to balance it with acid. Not much hive aroma at all just a generic honey flavor and nose. Wednesday, January 15, 2014
savnac	3.3 Honeywood Winery Blackberry Mead 750ml bottle from PDX. Clear blush and still. Aroma is medicinal, honey alcohol and light berry. Flavor is sweet honey and berry alcohol is hidden from the sweetness. Medium body with a fair amount of residual sugar. This one doesn’t smell so good and the berries are slightly lost, taste is great but it’s really sweet. You really can’t go wrong though at $11.99 at the airport. Monday, February 25, 2013
boFNjackson	3.2 Honeywood Winery Mead 750ml bottle... Poured clear, pale golden/yellow. Smooth textured, and silky, medium bodied palate. Very sweet with honey and candied sugars. A wine-like yeast and alcohol burn towards the finish. Borderline cloying but a satisfying sweetness. Sunday, September 18, 2011
after4ever	3.1 Honeywood Winery Mead 750, corked and foiled. Honeywood...if you asked her nicely. Ba dump chish. Why do I bring up this hackneyed old joke? Because that’s kinda what’s happening on the nose with this one, and I don’t mean to be gross, but it’s that ripe scent of a willing lass who’s ready to go. I’m not sure why that particular sultry brand of funk has the tendency to turn up in meads that it does, but this and one of the Kuhnhenns both have that fragrance dialed in to an uncanny degree of accuracy. Creamy, somewhat sticky medium body. Tastes like the honey you get out of a plastic bear, along with that sultry funk. Not unpleasant. Not, actually, sure whether I should be grading this one up or down based on the pleasant connotations it brings, but it doesn’t seem to bespeak quality or artistry, so I’m grading down due to the fact that it was probably not intentional.

beerbill	3 Honeywood Winery Mead 750 ml bottle. Pours a crystal clear brilliant pale gold with no head. This is a still mead. Pleasant aroma of clean sweet honey. By clean I mean that there is no earthiness to the honey. Some floral notes are present in the nose as well. I am having a great deal of trouble trying to evaluate the flavor. It begins with a very nice, bright, sweet honey flavor that is not heavy or cloying and is quite lovely actually. Several seconds later, however, a distinct soapy flavor washes in. At first I thought it was my wine glass, so I reached for a different glass and tried it again with the same result. Finally, I took a swig directly from the bottle just to rule out a glassware issue, and again had the same soapy flavor emerge. What a shame, because it really detracts from what otherwise is a very good mead. Sunday, December 20, 2009
