Bottle at White Winter Winery on Nov. 18, 2011. A clear almost white pour, faint nose of lemon, taste was lemon/lime. I enjoyed this.

750ml foiled and corked, thanks after4ever. Pours a touch thicker than water and show light legs on the walls of the glass. Nose is fairly light with obvious honey notes as well as bright white grape and touches of riesling, light floral as well. Not overly sweet and the riesling notes show through in the flavor quite well. Drinks easy and is a good intro mead that would pair well also with a meal.

Bottle. Light pour with a sweet aroma of honey and light spice. This was a basic dry mead but was done quite well. Body was nice and light with the balance of sweetness kept nice and low. Easy to drink and nice.

Bottle via a trade from the man, the myth, the legend, tytoanderso...as an extra along with 3 other White Winter EXTRAS! (BEER KARMA to him!). Pours nearly as clear as water, with some legs. Aroma is straight forward with honey, some freshly cut grass, sage brush, light citrus, and desert flora and dryness. Nice spiciness to the honey. Taste is very dry but near watery with alcohol, mint water and dry wine. Odd trade duality of alcohol flavor and thin body. Strange, and I am not sure quite how they accomplished that (along with the water like hue). A few too many wine tannins (added after, not from oak). Very dry in residual sugars and finish. Would be interested in talking to the brewer about their process in making this.

ABR 2008. Light aroma of honey with a bit of wood in there as well. Sweet, finishes very dry. Alcohol seemed stronger in this than in the others from White Winter I tried.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Appearance is almost water like with just the slightest of golden tint to the clear headless liquid. Aroma of oak, light honey, and a bunch of other things I’m not real sure of. Taste of honey, yeast and tannins. Reminds me of a dry wine rather than something I should typing up a paragraph about on ratebeer.com. Semi-watery, mildly tart with a nice dry finish. It’s okay, but I’d just assume have a dry wine made of red grapes than a honey concoction.
