BlackDonald (428), Anchorage, Alaska, USA May 13, 2008 This is quite nice, if you follow the instructions and warm it up with the mulling spices. Its very dry all by itself, but the spices add touches of cinnamon and nutmeg. Pwn3d (477), Connecticut, USA Apr 16, 2008 Reads English Mead. First mead I’ve ever had, part of a blind beer tasting. Taste of thin honey and smells like petrol. Surprisingly enjoyable and lightly carbonated. Not sure if I could kill the whole bottle.. but it was a good beginners experience - im looking forward to trying more mead! Odin be praised! bdigi66 (359), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA Mar 20, 2008 Bottle: Poured at J.K. O’Donnell’s. Light gold in color, slightly syrupy. Sweet, floral honey-based aroma, notes of some soft herbs. Slightly sweet, dry honey flavor with the floral and herb notes coming through in a very tame fashion. nearbeer (923), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Feb 26, 2008 "English Mead" version. Clear and pale white-gold. Spicy-sweet honey, earthy grape, and perfumed talcum powder in the aroma. Flavor is best described in the same way. Slightly dry on the finish. Alcohol not too overpowering for 12.5%, but does warm the gullet nicely. BorksBabe (43), Tampa, Florida, USA Feb 6, 2008 The aroma is almost non-existent... small traces of alcohol. Looks like watered-down urine. Flavor.. much like a white wine with honey flavor. A typical mead. It’s smooth on the palate and gets better the longer it’s open. Overall, I think I like it. Goes well with Sushi.
