Bottle at home. Pours clear yellow with no head. Nose is sweet honey, alcohol, light woody touch, a fairly potent floral character. Taste is honey (duh), nice fruity-floral hint right afterwards and then some unexpected, surprisingly sharp alcohol burn, but fortunately this doesnt last too long. Closes with a warming, sweet finish showing honey and booze. Light to medium bodied, drinks below the ABV. I actually liked this one, nothing extraordinary but quite tasty altogether.

Pours a clear gold. Scent is very vibrant, fresh and uplifting, lemongrass aspects (though it's not as specific as it sounds, not overpowering or anything). Taste is full, smooth some mild acidity almost, bringing balance and drinkability. Smooth - very smooth. Intense honey with a 'fresh' zing, think minthy or lemon - without their specific aroma's. coockie dough comes to mind. Mild ginger notes as well. Very well made, interesting mead - where the spices do not overpower at all.
