3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
yellow-orange pour. aroma is very perfume like. floral. served warm, the alcohol on the nose goes right to your sinuses. Honey is the obvious presence. Hints of sour apple, citrus, and vanilla follow. A nice alcohol burn accompanies.

Beautiful pale yellow color. Still variety. Typical rubber band aroma of mead. Honey sweetness in flavor with that rubber in the finish. Somewhat "sticky" texture drinking it.

bottle purchased around 2007. pours a clear lightly gold hue with no head. when drinking hot and mulled with the provided spice pack, there is a lot of cinnamon and clove in nose with sweet honey. the cold base is sweet and has an almost white grape character. i enjoyed both ways. the heated version seems to bring out the alcohol a little more. pleasantly surprised. very nice.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Yellow color with a few white bubbles. The aroma is heavy on the honey. The flavor is full of honey, floral notes and some alcohol. Medium mouthfeel.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a nice light clear yellow. Aromas of honey, wax, and slight alcohol. Flavor is mostly nice sweet honey, mild earthy comb, and a hint of booze. Sort of a earthy underlying floral quality as well.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
This poured a lighter straw yellow color with no head, to be expected with mead. Aroma was mainly honey, some nitrous oxide and light bready notes. Flavor was bread yeast and honey, a bit too sweet for my liking but not too bad.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle with Carla. Pours a light yellow without carbonation. Smells sweet and lightly dry of honey with light hints of pine and cedar branches. Tastes sweet of elderberries, vanilla and honey with a hint of alcohol at the end.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Clear gold color. Light honey aroma. Moderate honey flavor, with clover standing out the most. Drifting into an almost spearmint spice towards the finish. Medium to full bodied.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Drank warmed with seeped in spice packin a silver chalice. The mead has both an aroma and flavor of light, spicy honey - no surprise. The alcohol and warmth go down smooth and I expect this would be appropriate for a wintertime sipper around the fireplace, although I tried this in the middle of summer.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Had this at the 2011 mid summer morning mead tasting at Vintage, nice place, y’know? Clear and barely any color at all. Smell is like honey in a plastic bottle. Taste is plain honey mead, no frills and I like that. A rather well behaved mead on the palate. Just plain good ol mead. On target for what I believe to be the style. This one seems to be below avereage in the alky content or it just hides it well. Decent finsh, mouth coating of course; bet gentle.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle shared with the inlaws. Very light in color, kind of suprising with the mix of honey’s involved here. Very light nose, somewhat floral. Flavor is crisp and fruity, body is light, and finish is clean.
