25cl bottle from Krakow side-by-side with Kurpiowski and Lubelski. I just dont think Im a big enough mead fan/connoisseur to do these bottles justice. Glad I got them for about 20 Zloty and not some huge stateside markup. I did think the Apis was my favorite though. The color was darker but also had more red tint to it. I could actually smell the raspberries. The flavor was similar to the other 3 but I think I could pick up the faint fruit in the finish. Probably better as an aperitif....in small doses.

Raspberries are present but faint; certainly very sweet, almost entirely too sweet, but remains drinkable. Not a big mead person so this one is largely lost on me. Thank god I got this in a 14 dollar taster flight rather than paying 40-50 dollars for a bottle.

UPDATED: MAR 16, 2011 750ml woven bottle, very sweet honey and boozy, definitely a sipper, very sweet, full with a hint of raspberry on the back end. Very nice, but Im not sure that I would buy a whole bottle at $40 again. Still Splended.
