3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled. A light golden mead with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of honey and rather spicy combined with notes of roses. The flavor is sweet with noets of honey, flowers - especially roses, and lots of alcohol. The alcohol leaves a light burn in the mouth. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

75 cL bottle. Pours clear and pale yellow, almost colourless. Spiced, herbal and honey aroma. Very sweet flavour and mild spiced. Ends sweet and with a light alcohol finish.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Skyview. Clear pale golden. Tart and floral aroma. Surprisingly light-bodied with lovely accents of flowery honey, but also a rather synthetic edge of glue. But overall quite refreshing and not cloyingly sweet. 190608
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled (Thanks Papsoe!). Golden colour, no head. Aroma is white wine mixed with some sap, fruits and wooden notes. Very sweet. Flavour is about exactly the same. Semi dry, but sweet.

Courtesy of Papsoe
Very pale color, almost transparent. It has a strange aroma: plastic, sweat, chicken, manure, perfume. Medium sweet flavor, a bit fruity with a light citrusy acidity at the end. If it was not for the weird aroma it would be a quite good drink.

Bottle, 11.5%. Weak sweet aroma. Very pale yellow colour. Sweet flavour, spicy with some nice apple juice. Sweet aftertaste, more apple.
