2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
700ml bottle (ChrisO’s post-GBBF2011 Tuesday)
Sweet honey, gentle spice. Little to say, it is what it is..... I think my issue with this is the fact that it’s a UK wine-styled mead. It doesn’t have the heft of a polish mjod, it’s paler, thinner, and simpler at its base. The spices seem to be there as if they’re just covering up something, or the lack of something, and aren’t well integrated. Not unpleasant, but not my style of mead.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From bottle @ Paisley Beer Festival 2011. White wine coloured. Aroma is honey and a bit spicy. Flavour is sweet cloying honey, bit of heat, dusty and light peppery. A bit odd but pleasant.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This corked and caged bottled mead from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of medium sized clear colored bubbles that were quickly diminishing and left behind a transparent yellow orange colored body and a oily lacing. The aroma was musty and honey. . The strong flavor contained notes of vinous sweet mild spice and honey. Delicious and one I would certainly like to have again.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Shared at thedm and hotstuff’s. Yellow gold color and still. Honey sweet nose with lots of herbs. Lots of honey sweetness in the taste with some flower, pine and clove spice. Full flavored mead.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
bottle at Fort Wayne tasting courtesy of thedm and hotstuff - Pours golden and very leggy with a big, sweet honey aroma. The flavor is very sweet honey. The spices are really mild, barely discernible to me (maybe too many big beers before tasting this mead tonight). There’s nothing outstanding here, but it’s tasty and fairly enjoyable.
