Bottle. Very small and very quickly disappearing white head. Hazy orange body. Sweet mild and round and also a bit boring honey aroma. Flavor also round and mild honey. No taste of the alcohol which is very well hidden by the sweetness of the honey. Low carbonation, short aftertaste.

(Stockholm Beer Festival 2007) Bottle. Pale yellow/golden color, small head. Malty sourish aroma with honey. Malty flavor, some spices, some honey. More a blond than a mead.

Hazy honey gold hue, with a white head, yeasty, herbal bouquet nose, with some honeyed notes, with a sweet pale malt note, with a fruity, peachy, mandarin aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, sweet honeyed pale malt character, with a subtle herbal lavender accent, with some candy sugar, a faint floral hop note, with a peachy, tangerine fruitiness, leading towards a sweet malty, fruity, spicy finish.

Bottle. Hazy amber coloured with a small off white head. Fruity aroma of flowers and honey with metallic notes. Fruity flavour of caramel and honey with notes of hops.

Bottel.33cl. I find it bland and too sweet, and ther is no warmth from the alkohol, just sweet.
