Has a sickly sweet thing going on, only accentuated by thedelicate nature of the rose petals and the tarty cranberries. Didn’t really work for me, though I didn’t hate it. Still my small glass was enough.

Clear bottle, 750 ml, purchased on the premise, savoured on January 2 2011; eye: old rose, no effervescence; nose: rose, cranberry, light spices; mouth: rose, cranberry, light spices, slight honey, dry finale in rose with presence of cranberry; overall: quite good FRANÇAIS Bouteille transparente, 750 ml, achetée sur place, savourée le 2 janvier 2011; œil : vieux rose, pas d’effervescence; nez : rose, canneberge, léger épices; bouche : rose, canneberge, léger épices, très léger miel, finale sèche en rose avec très légère présence de canneberge; en résumé : bien bon

D’un rose prononcé. Arôme très fruité de canneberges et de baies ainsi qu’une forte présence de rose et de miel. Acidité de canneberge prononcée qui vient masquer un peu la subtilité du miel et de la rose en bouche.

had with John from Churchkey, thanx for sharing. lovely pink color, no head nose is cranberry, and perfumy flowers rosepedals. love the rosewater flavor. not too cloying, well done, probably the best mead i have ever had.

20070303 Bottled shared by RLB. More pink in color than you’d expect but they must have used a cranberry concentrate or something. Coats the glass, streaking. Aromas of mild cranberries, the fresh kind, and mild perfume notes. This was a step beyond the mild rosewater essense I expected, and maybe a bit much, but certainly unique.

Pours rosey and still. Smells peachy with some rosey hints, rubberbands and honey. Tastes of honey and reminds me of a bum wine. Where’s the cranberries this is supposed to have?

Bottle, about 8 months old. Very rosy, perfumy aroma, obviously. Slight acidity and old, spoiled honey that is somewhat characteristic of this meadery. Pretty red pour. Good honey up front unfortunately dies into a rough, formaldehyde finish. Yikes. Ruins an otherwise nice mead.

Thanks to RLB for sharing. Pours a violet/pink body, clear and still. Aroma is rose hip- sharp light acidic rose hip- vitamin C character, with a nice refreshing tart cranberry hint and mild honey sweetness- herbal and flowery hints are pretty strong. Sweet honey and spice flavor, peppery, flowery, tea-like, with a clean yet tart cranberry finish. A bit too herbal and flowery for me.

Bottle thanks to RLB. Clear, dark pink color with decent legs. Aroma is floral and sweet, with cranberry notes, honey and apple. I did not get any of the tartness in the flavor that others have mentioned. Sweet flavor of honey, grape jelly, cran-apple and rose hips.

Floral, perfume-like, almost nutty aroma. Clear ruby tinged body with excellent legs on the glass. Perfumey, lightly spicy, sweet and floral with light balancing tartness in the finish. Lasting fruity sensation in the aftertaste. Medium body is never cloying and alcohol is never notable. Sampled at Mondial 2006.
