MrManning (1458), London, Ontario, Canada May 28, 2008 This mead pours a still pale yellow liquid. The nose is filled with honey and white grapes, with floral notes and a bit of alcohol. Tastes of sweet honey and melon, with white grapes and grass, with noticeable alcohol. Sweet, harsh boozey finish with lingering taste of honey. This one is a little rough around the edges, but still somewhat enjoyable in small doses. DougShoemaker (2619), Toronto, Canada Jul 14, 2006 Stale honey and alcohol, yellow, Strong taste of alcohol, harsh, unpleasant drink.
Thanks tupalev. GregClow (2369), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 27, 2006 Bottle shared with a bunch of folks at Doug’s - courtesy of tupalev. Very pale greenish-gold. Soft body. Light, wine-like flavour, with warm honey and booze in the finish. Quite simple. mds (2111), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 25, 2006 Bottle. Pale, light yellowish-white still body. The aroma has some cereal grain, and alcohol. Yeah, it’s quite simple sweet and alcoholic - fairly rough and somewhat sticky. Not particularly good. HogTownHarry (3361), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Jun 18, 2006 <b>Item #4 at June 2006 Toronto cider/mead -fest - bottle from tupalev</b>. Very pale yellow, flat, no head - a mead. Aroma - dry and boozy! Strong tart, almost harsh raw white wine - almost eye-watering. Taste is alcohol, bitter persimmon, again the "green" white wine rawness - there’s a lot of sweetness there, I guess that’s the honey. Flat, bitter, alcoholic slick mouthfeel - man this is boozy, and unfortunately harsh - I sniffed the glass after and it had a definite honey smell, moreso than when drinking it.
