hopscotch (4433), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Jul 3, 2006 Bottle... Hazy, straw-colored mead. Very vineous aroma. Smells a bit like a Halls coughdrop (camphor, menthol). The alcohol is extremely evident. Tastes like a sweet, white, ice wine. Big alcohol. Good bitterness. Barely medium-bodied and lightly oily with maybe a whisper of carbonation. Finishes bittersweet. Resealed the bottle in order to revisit it in about twenty years. Maybe it will become something like Apis Póltorak Jadwiga; maybe it’ll explode or turn into vinegar. Who knows? Very spendy at $22+ per bottle.
