Pour in a sampler at the meadery. Pours a clear blueberry jam color with no head or carbonation. The aroma has blueberries along with tea, honey, floral notes, and maybe a hint of orange citrus. The flavor follows suit; sweet blueberry and honey, wildflowers, citrus peel. Medium-bodied, with a vinous moutfheel and no carbonation. Damn tasty.

Bottle sampled at the Mead Mountain tasting on 1/8/11. Clear blush color. Herbal aroma that I wouldn’t have been able to pick out as bergamot without the suggestive name, but I’m gonna go ahead and guess that’s what I’m smelling. Also blueberry and honey notes in there. Sweet blueberry in the flavor along with some honey and a dry herbal finish.

UPDATED: FEB 9, 2011 Sample at the Mead Molehill tasting on 01/10/2011. Clear ruby-amber color with a minimal head and no lacing to speak of. Citrus and honey aroma. Medium body with flavors of sweet berries and honey. The finish is sweet honeycomb and fruit. Pretty good overall.
