Apr 6, 2008 375 ml split from Porterhouse! Thanks Kevin! Nose is like a tart chardonnay, with a very slight touch of a funkiness; color is a sake-like translucenct very pale yellowish tinge; crystallike in it’s diffraction of the ambient light! Flavor is suprisingly sweet after the nose, light honey and apply pearishness; finish is lightly sweet, fading into a light honey note! Excellent mead! Get some from Kevin and rate it!!! Good thing I look at my friend’s cellar lists to see what they have and what I can send them!

Mar 25, 2008 (375 ml bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/augusta/lou’s-beverage-barn/4790.htm target=blank>Lou’s Beverage Barn, cellared for 1 year after purchase) Like a white wine with nectar...Pours clear very pale straw yellow - basically looks like white wine. Aroma is also like white wine - even has a fermented white grapey aroma along with subtle honey and clover sweetness. Mouthfeel is smooth, wine-like, lightly sticky. Droplets lace inside of snifter. Flavor is like a fine white wine with a light nectary honeysuckle sweetness. Finishes with a hint of almost sourish yeastiness. Alcohol well-hidden (unlike the Bartlett Dry). Tasty. Sweet. Elegant.
