2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Golden yellow in color with no head. Spicy boozy aroma. Fruity appley flavor. Very hot. Dry. Not good. Finish is appley and dry. Ok.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle shared by EDA. Pours golden yellow. Extremly astringent on the nose, with honey and apple coming out. Apple? I don’t get it. Anywho, this one was very boozy and somewhat buttery, to go along with that odd apple taste. Where did the honey go in this mead? Minerally as well with no carbonation at all. Not a good start for the mead category.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle shared by EDA. Boozy, clove aroma, way too hot. A bit of an odd bite, stinging bee honey. Totally dried out. As it warms, it becomes worse and worse, and eventually becomes undrinkable. Yuck.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle, thanks EDA. Clear, soft yellow in appearance; like white grape juice. The aroma is earthy honey, and the flavor is the same. Dry kind of like white wine.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pale straw colour. Absolutely still. Aroma is mostly of wildflower honey. Dusty, dry palate. Light astringency. Flabby and flat. Buh.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Thanks to EDA for sharing - Wow, even the name of this stuff sucks - clear gold - alcoholic aroma, with medium honey sweetness and not much else - apples and alcohol in the flavor - some dry white wine character tries to make it interesting, but this is mostly astringent and medicinal.
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle. Smells like fermented apples. Taste is worse with a medicinal rotten apple taste. Fuckin awful.
1.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
At the pub. This stuff was terrible. Mead is one of my favorite styles and this is simply a poor example of this wonderful drink. Light yellow in color, with a faint honey aroma. The flavor was very thin and the taste was musty and stale. A horrible experience.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle from the brew pub: Pours a clear light goldish color. Aroma is of honey and some spicing. Flavor, has a weak honey character, dry, but suffers from being thin and boozy. Listed as 10% I believe, and for a mead I wouldn’t think that would be over powering, but it is.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cidery type of mead, a little lace, thinnish body and light honeyish colour. Advance tasting at the pub since I am Canadian. Some honey in the smell and alcohol, though not too bad
