steview (737), Oceanside, California, USA Apr 20, 2008 sooo i’m going to rate this as the RateBeer.com style description dictates: i assume that this is not a good example of a mead, but it is so weird and drinkable--at least it is not too one-dimensional; primarily honey, apricot, mint, dirt, sugar, with some subtle carbonation... yup.
josarah (65), Hinesburg, Vermont, USA Jun 11, 2008 Bottle, fruity aroma, very light gold color. This is not a standard meade, that being said it is a great drinkable beverage. There is a hint of honey and citrus, serves well cold. Beerlando (1235), Orlando, Florida, USA May 20, 2008 Pours a really light straw color with some fizzy carbonation that pools into a lively, active, white head. The body looks incredibly thin for a mead. The aroma shows light corn syrup, cinnamon, and non-descript, light fruitiness. I can’t even detect a drop of honey on the nose. Flavors are equally foreign to me, and not at all impressive. Sweet, corny sugar and light fruit (perhaps some pear, or maybe lychee) are all that I really pick up. Where is the honey? Easily the lightest-bodied mead I have ever encountered, taking on the consistency of carbonated sugar water. Finishes on the dry side. This one is as strange as they come. I’m not a fan. mgumby10 (1624), West Palm Beach, Florida, USA May 18, 2008 Pours a clear yellow color, with a small off white head. Color resembled New York hose water. Smelled of Big Red gum, alot of cinnamon, with some trace of that apricot fruit as well. Kind of liked the smell. The flavor was pretty uninspiring for mead. Didnt really have any honey presence like a mead should. Was more fruity in the flavor, but had a twinge of that cinnamon taste as well going on here. Just a weird mead overall, not sure how I felt about it. It wasnt what i was looking for, but it wasnt entirely bad either. scraff (1628), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Apr 5, 2008 Clear light gold in color with soft honeyed menthol and fruity aromas. Crisp honey apricot flavors warm to faint rice and grape-like tones. Airy body and dry with just a touch of carbonation. Would be very nice to sip on a hot summer day...
