3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle pour. Pale yellow pour. The aroma is very herbal and clean. Smells sweet and herbal at the same time in an interesting way. Again, this one is dangerous.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On draft at 1808. Pours a still yellow-white color. Nose is some piney hops with some citrus notes, light honey and a mild ooze character. Flavor follows with a bit of booze, some light honey and some hoppy piney character. I understand what they were after, but it just did not resonate with me on this one. Light to medium in body and ok overall.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft. Poured clear golden color with good legs. Moderate to heavy dark honey and floral hop aroma. Medium body with a smooth rich texture. Medium dark honey and citrus flavor with a rich bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Pleasing rich flavor.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sample from a bottle. Clear yellow pour with no head and no legs. Nose of honey and hops. Musty dry white wine flavor with a hoppy finish. Not my thing. I like hops in my beer, but not so much in my mead.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at Bodega served in a stemless wine glass. Pours a clear, pale gold with no carbonation or head. Aroma of floral notes, honey, earthy bitter hops and a little bit of soap or chemicals. Flavor of honey, bitter earthy and soapy hops, and floral notes. Medium body, no carbonation, and a smooth, vinous mouthfeel. Nice.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
draft... very light straw body, no head... light aroma get more hops than anything, a bit floral, some honey, ok... a very dry mead, easy to drink, more hops but not sweet enough for me, alcohol is hidden really well, I’d like to try more
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On draught at Bodega. Pours a crystal clear pale yellow color with a minimal white head that forms an outer ring. Decent legs on the sides of the glass. Aroma of ripe fruit with some dank notes and an interesting Elmer’s paste smell periodically. Medium, semi-dry body with a fruity character and flavors of honey, wood and mild earthy hops in the background. The finish is sweet and fruity. Interesting and pretty enjoyable overall.
