Pale, transparent yellow with sticky legs after the swirl. Nose is honey and sugars with apple and other fruit aromas. Very sweet honey taste is mingled with apple white grapes, with a slight floral component. Thick, oily, sweet, balanced with nice acidity. A great sipper for after a meal.

Clear w/ a light yellow hue. Aroma of sweet honey & alcohol. Sticky feel. Very sweet flavour that borders on cloying but never quite gets there. Some notes of honeydew & cantaloupe also evident.

Bottle shared with a bunch of folks at Doug’s - courtesy of tupalev. Light golden-yellow. Mild aroma of slightly fermented honey. Flavour of honey, quite sweet without being cloying. Alcohol in the background, but well balanced by the sweetness. Definately the best of their three unflavoured meads.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 mds (2115) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUN 26, 2006
Bottle. Pours a clear, yellowish, dull body. The nose is typically honey and minerals. Mild fruit flavour and crazily sweet - sticky and smooth oiliness. Not too easy to drink but the alcohol is well masked.

Item #6 at June 2006 Toronto cider/mead -fest - bottle from tupalev. Pale flat yellow. Sweet, alcoholic, bitter aroma, some tart fruit too. Taste - sweet! OMG this is sweet, honey, alcohol, generic fruitiness - sticky and flat with a quick finish. It’s okay, but oh jeebus this is sweet.

Bottle, just maybe my favourite of the 6 Munro meads. Light yellow, no head. Nice very sweet honey aroma. Very nice sweet honey taste. Not cloying, but fresh. Nice alcohol burn in the finish, noticeably stronger than the mead and the dry mead. Excellent, this is more like it Munro!

Pale yellow body. Sweet alcoholic aroma with light sweet honey and fruit. Light honey, melon? muted tropical fruit. Average to medium palate. (3+) A little more rounded that the dry and regular.
