Oct 21, 2007 Tap at Eccentric Cafe. Mostly clear pale body with a tiny ring of bubbles for a head. The nose is sweet honey, tart apples, lightly medicinal yeast and light alcohol. The flavor is moderately sweet, pithy and just lightly tart with honey and green apples. Medium/full body is chewy with very light carbonation. Worth trying once.

Jul 1, 2007 agreed that this is more of a hard cider than a mead...translucent golden body with no head..aroma of green apple, vinegar, and a splash of honey..very acidic mouthfeel giving rise to a more hard cider element that that of a mead (strong apple...weak honey)

Jun 23, 2007 Is this a cider or is this a mead? Whatever it is, my wife didn’t like it so I finished off the 3/4 pint she didn’t want. Served a clear, golden/amber under a wisp of a head. Apples overtook the aroma, both tart and sweet. Tasted very much like a cider as well, except without the acidity I’ve experienced elsewhere. I couldn’t get any honey notes off of it. Crisp, dry palate. As a cider, this was pretty darn good. As a mead, it pretty much sucks.

Jun 17, 2007 On tap at Bell’s Eccentric Cafe. This mead poured a clear, golden color with and orangish hue. Absolutely no head. There were huge carbonation bubbles running up the sides of the glass. The aroma was very tart and sweet with strong apple notes. Just a touch of honey. The flavor was crisp and sweet. Mostly apple. I found it to be a very refreshing drink for a hot summer day.
