3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle… Clear, straw-colored mead with tons of great, long legs. The aroma is a passable marriage of methanol, orange blossom honey and earthy wood. Full-bodied and oily. The flavor is complex and sweet with acceptable bitterness and a hint of tartness. Finishes medium sweet and mildly bitter with a gentle kiss of acidity. Bottle courtesy of biggsbowler!

Pours a beautiful golden hue. Aromas of honey, citrus, with hints of florals. Rather sweet but wonderful. Hints of citrus with loads of fresh honey. Mild vanilla and a touch of wood. I could sit back and sip it for day’s. A real wonderful mead that is worthy of the price.

Bottle shared by SoLan at Hunahpuh day. Is a mellow golden hay languishing in the autumn evening sun color. Aroma of low-hanging loquats, sweet and ripe white flesh plum, and uber-concentrated honey. Potently sweet and dessert like. The high sugar content is complemented by its high complexity with layers of pollen, royal jelly, jasmine, and frangipani. Deeply impressive.

375ml bottle, Batch 0730410, courtesy SoLan. Pours still, with a clear, pale, golden straw shade. It’s moderately viscous for a mead, showing some thin sheeting and legging. The nose is a decadent blend of sweet, pale honey with fragrant citrus blossoms, and lush, decadent, vanilla kissed oak. Smells great. Flavors largely follow suit, though there is a hint of background acidity that lends a nice balance. Honey is light, golden, and super fresh tasting. The citrusy florals really come through nicely, working nicely with the warm, oaky barrel notes. On the palate, the moderate body glides across the tongue effortlessly, finishing with a slightly drying and pleasing alcoholic finish. Great stuff. Hard to find fault with this one.

4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Received full glass sample at the B. Nektar meadery in Ferndale, MI. Pours a clear golden riesling auslese-like colored mead with a clear disk top and excellent viscosity tears. Aroma is liquid orange blossom honey, a hint of vanilla and a touch of cream tartar. Taste is full bodied, smooth as silk with flavors of sweet orange blossom honey and a hint of whipped cream. Finish is velvety smooth with very faint oak/vanilla chalk texture after the finish. No fermentation yeast detected anywhere. One of the smoothest dessert meads I’ve tried.
