5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
Of all the several meads I’ve tasted that are not wine based, this is the best by far. With St Pelagrino water it makes a refreshing and satishying spritzer.

full body, medium sweetness, golden,
Unique product hand crafted in small batches. Very limited distribution. If you are lucky enough to see it BUY IT.

This mead is delicious; one of the best I’ve ever tasted. The look is just like SoCo, syrupy and caramel-hued, with legs. The aroma is pure delicious honey, not too far off the smell of Tupelo. The taste is pure nectar. Gustatory suggestions include a melange of wildflower, orange blossom, clover and grass, slight tannins, and a touch of Sam Adams Utopias. So delicious; I’d say its a great sipper, but its hard not to slug down gulps at a time.

Enjoyed this one several years ago when I tasted it. They disappeared for a bit but boy am I glad they are back.
Pours a beautiful clear golden hue. Aromas of comb honey, maple, and a touch of toffee. The flavor is pure honey sweetness. Once again I will go with comb honey, earthy, waxy, and sweet. There are candied undertones as well. Notes of brown sugar, maple and toffee. The body is nice and thick like it should be. Not a bit of alcohol can be detected. This is pure and awesome. Has the quality that can be found only in the best Polish meads.
Love it, and very very very very happy it has returned to the shelf.

Bottle from Leuken’s. I have had meads before, but this one blew me away. Pours a still deep caramel/ amber color. Nose is deep, earthy honey that still has the comb attached- bits of vanilla, sweet citrus, and vanilla. Flavor is liquid gold- layers upon layers of honey, honeycomb, and booze. Huge legs. The flavor and mouthfeel reminded me of a brandy that was made with honey. The finish is immense and lingers like a symphony. Outstanding mead.

15 DEC 07, Southeast YeHa. 750ml bottle. Looks like a Brandy bottle. Pours like liquid honey. Aroma of sweet mead and cork. WOW! No alcohol presence. Nothing but sweet sugary honey. Like an over-sweetened southern sweet tea. PDer! Supersweet!

Bottle. Pours a dark copper color, still, no lacing, and gold highlights. Sugary sweet aromas of honey and brown sugar, some caramel, too. Flavor is very sweet, and seemingly balanced with tons of honey and caramel, and some very sweet molasses. Body is packed with tons of sweets and candy. So incredibly drinkable. You can’t take giant sips of it, but you will drink a lot of it in a short time.

A suprising and amazing mead from a local Florida meadery that was gone for awhile but is now back again (thankfully). Pours a clear dark amber. Nose is absolutely amazing, equal to if not better than Apis. I am guessing Orange Blossom Honey but I get suggestions of cinnamon and clove which suggest Tupelo. Extremely smooth and with absolutely no off flavors at all. Finishes with lingering honeyed biscuits, orange and berry and light cinnamon. Finish is full and long lasting. Damn! What a mead! Didn’t expect this sort of quality from a local meadery. I’ll be keeping this around constantly because its not terrible expensive either.
