2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draft at the Gettysburg location, July 2006. A light yellow mead with a white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of honey and citrus. The flavor is malty with light notes of honey and a dry end. The body is a bit weak.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
On tap at Gettysburg location, July 2006. Sold as Mead, which I suppose coloured my expectations. There is a light honey aroma but its sweet, watery and insubstantial on the palate. Couldn’t really find much else to comment on. Tasted more like a honey lager. A miss.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Draft. Pale gold pour with no head. Very sparse aroma of citrus and Brut champagne. Has very little taste, perhaps a bit of fruit, but a wafer thin palate. My regurgitated solids taste better than this one.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap, Gettysburg location. Pours a clear yellow gold, minimal to no head, with some light visible carbonation. Aroma is slightly sweet with honey, wet hay, and a flowery perfumy component. Flavor is light, semi-dry, with a finish that is at least refreshing if nothing else. Mouthfeel is very fizzy and almost champagne like in feel. Not sure about this one, is it a full mead? Doesn’t really stack up with the real meads that I’ve had. Pretty lacking in character overall. I see now after entering this that it is not a true mead, but a braggot. Oh well, even with that knowledge it really didn’t seem to make for a pleasing experience.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Maybe the glass that was served to me wasnt cleaned but it kinda smelled solvently and a bit like bleach. Other than that it was moderately fruity with a very dry finish. Actually tasted stronger than it was. Not much to this one. Although I havent had many meads I dont think that a 4.3% abv is going to be anything special, since most mead are supposed to be at least twice that strong.
1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Draft at Appalacian BC. Small white head that mostly diminished, fine sized bubbles, lacing was sparse, uncarbonated, transparent, and a yellow hue. Fruity and honey aroma. Flavor was sweet and somewhat fruity. Bubbly mouthfeel. Light body. Obviously, not at all impressed with this one.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
really yummy beer. A bit light but has a nice taste and is very smooth. One of ABC’s better beers if you ask me. Well rounded body.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of frothy finely sized mostly diminishing unnoted colored bubbles that left behind an unnoted lacing. The body contained unnoted carbonation, was transparent and straw yellow in color. Its aroma contained notes of honey dirty feet mild . Its mouth feel is initially tingly with a lingering tingly mellow palate and a mild honey aftertaste. Its flavor contained mild honey malt notes and was not very tasty. Not one I would buy again.
