COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is a VERY DRY AND SIMPLE Mead, made by fermenting honey with no fruit and no sulfites and almost no residual sugar. Ours is a lot less sweet than most meads, and should go well with fish and hors d'oeuvres. We have noticed that people who like beer tend to like this wine, and those who LOVE our sweet Blackberry might NOT like this dry Mead. And be warned; Mead generally throws a sediment and gets cloudy. We have not overcome this, but we have found the flavor of our Mead to be unaffected by the sediment.

BMan1113VR (6531) - Los Angeles, California, USA - OCT 8, 2009
Bottle via a trade with TheCheeseman. Pours a clear gold with minimal legs. Tons of honey and some wax, a touch of butter. Taste is a bit tannic, typical mead honey qualities, dry, strong alcohol burn. Not nearly as pleasant as the aroma. Light effervescence, thin palate. Finishes with dry white wine acidity.

This bottled mead from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of clear colored bubbles that were quickly diminishing and left behind a transparent uncarbonated dark yellow colored body. The strong aroma was all honey. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and mediumly tingly at the finish. The flavor contained notes of soft sweet honey at the start, stronger at the finish and dry all around. An OK mead just nothing special.
