Heidrun California Orange Blossom Mead

Bottled. A hazy light yellow mead with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of honey and alcohol. The flavor is alcoholic with notes of honey and rose hips. The mouthfeel is very sparkling.

0.75 l bottle at Akkurat, Stockholm. Thanks tbone_ and oh6gdx! Yellow color. Bittersweet honeyish and vinous aroma with herbal notes. Slightly sparkling, warming and sweet white wine like on the palate with honeyish and slightly phenolic flavor.

Flowery & perfumy with a prominant tangerine, peach and coconut aroma. The body is light, much like champagne with a very odd cloying sweetness. It is strange to have such a sweet flavor with such a dry finish. Slight passion fruit and orange in the flavor, but this is a bottle meant to be shared...with like 6 friends! Interesting, but not something I would order a second glass of in the same sitting.

Corked bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival 2007 afterfestival at Akkurat
Hazy light blond color. Original aroma, very flowery, like a mountain field in spring. The mouthfeel is quite dry, despite the sweetness, a bit acidic. Interesting, but not exceptional.

Pale yellow color, not much head, just some white foam. Clover and hay in the nose with honeyish notes. Like drinking white wine. Some sweet honey notes with grapes and hay.
