3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20Sampled repeatedly at EBF in Boston.
Dusty amber color. Minimally carbed.

2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Clear deep gold with a bit of blush. Thin, quickly falling off-white head.
Sweet fruity aroma. Faint maraschino cherry and honey.
Very tart flavor, almost sour. I don’t know what to make of it. I never tasted a Mead like this, actually I don’t know how many Braggots I’ve had.
For now, I’ll pass on having this one again.

Bottle at the Colorado Mead Tasting ’12, courtesy of Armin. Thanks Man! Pour is hazy amber with a light red tint and small white head; good lacing. Lemon peel, honey, a touch of spice, some cinnamon, and potpourri in the aroma. Taste is honey, allspice, a touch earthy, green apples, toffee, and bread with a lightly spicy finish. Medium mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Ok, but something is a bit off with this one.
