Sample at Brothers Drake. Clear yellow color. Aroma of lavender, ginger, cinnamon and honey. Flavor starts off with cinnamon, ginger and honey, but gives way to lysol-like perfuminess. Not bad overall, but it’s got to lose the lavender and the old lady apartment character it adds. The spice character saves this mead.

UPDATED: MAY 11, 2010 Sample at the Meadery. This Mead is a clear honey-gold color and sticks to the side of the glass a bit. Potpourri aroma of lavender and cinnamon. Sweet and slightly syrupy body with flavors reminiscent of scented soaps. Spices, lavender, apple, and cinnamon are all present. Floral aftertaste with some fruity notes. Sort of disjointed aroma versus taste but decent overall.
