Bourbon, spearmint, citrus fruity, vanilla oak & honey are all there. Minor oxidation which suits it well. Solid mead in small doses.

12 ounce bottle shared by jack at the WWGT2D2U? tasting, 5/29/14. Pours a hazy golden color with no head, moderate legs. Aroma of honey, spearmint, glue, tea. Solid but slightly medicinal. The taste is strong tea, spearmint, honey. Medium bodied, no carbonation, hot. Solid, but reminds me too much of my toothpaste.

Spearmint gum nose. Hazy golden. Dry, minty flavor. Little honey character, very dry. Watery mouthfeel

6oz clear glass bottle pours gold with a minute long head of loose foam. The aroma offers up moderate notes of mint followed by mild vague sweetness and then some honey along with a chemical booziness at the end of the draw. The taste is straight up mint chewing gum enhanced by the effervescent carbonation. Midway for a moment and into the finish brief sweet smooth mead honey notes interject slightly before the mint wells up again into the finish. This is too carbonated for me and makes it a bit too minty and thin in body.

Bottle split with Ibrew2or3, thanks Dave. Batch 021208. Dorée avec des bulles blanches à la surface laissant un bouquet menthol très prenant. Arôme est ici dans le style spearmint avec un menthol dominant suivi d’un mielleux et citronné assez en retrait. Palais est très voire trop effervescent donnant cet impression de ’mouthwash’ et de dentifrice. Effervescence est bcp trop haute au point de devoir secouer la bouteille pour qu’elle se dissipe. Sans cette dernière, la menthe est plus en rapport avec le profil de cet hydromel. A l’inverse, tout le bon côté du miel se retrouve obstrué. Pas grand chose à redire, si ce n’est menthe, menthe et encore de la menthe.

Bottle thanks to FlandersNed. Pours gold. Nose is straight up mint, spearmint and mouthwash with some honey notes. Taste is mint leaves, honey and tea leaves. The taste is much better and more balanced and more delicate than the nose. Medium body.

Bottle courtesy of hopscotch and crew, thanks! Bright and clear golden color. Aroma of double mint, double mint, double mint gum. Taste is juicy fruit on steroids. Interesting.
