Bottle sampled at the Mead Mountain tasting on 1/8/11. Clear yellow pour. Aroma is vanilla, honey and maple. Honey flavor with vanilla and a bit of maple at the end.

UPDATED: FEB 9, 2011 Sample at the Mead Molehill tasting on 01/10/2011. Clear pale yellow color with a minimal off-white head and spotty lace. Honey and berry aroma. Medium body with some medicinal fruit notes and underlying honey sweetness. The finish is sweet with a honey aftertate. Decent overall.

Bottle. No head. Body is light yellow. Aroma is notes of honey, citrus, walnuts, plastic/rubber/paint, and fusel alcohol (insecticide). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, unclean. Light to medium body, watery texture, no carbonation. Aroma is tainted by unpleasant phenols and higher alcohols. Suprisingly bad aftertaste ruins the mouth experience. Not a complete wash, but pretty hard to like.
