A quit easy drinkable and fine mead. Unusual session able. Ok intensity in the aroma. Honey and some spices. Not that thick mouth feeling. Balanced fine sweetness. Honey, fruity, some spices and mild citrus in the flavor.

Blond colour. Mellow aroma, some wildflower honey, light wax, light orange blossom. Very sweet and syrupy, barely balanced by some alcohol warmth; the flavour is mellow, honeyish, with light fruity esters, a bit floral, but not very deep.
Clean, pleasant sipper.

Bottle - Light backing spice and honey. Pale yellow. Really light honey and sweetness with a touch of booze. If mead could be sessionable and light, this would be a good example.

Bottle, thanks, Matt! Light gold. Piney, sticky aroma with a bit floral, woody note. Some spicy notes. So I'm liking this aroma. On the palate, this is exceptionally sweet, with a floral note. Some of the spice still shows through in the finish, but the woodier notes have dropped out in favour of a somewhat blander sweetness. Still nice mead, though, one that would be a top mead where I'm from.

180mL bottle, pours a clear pale yellow blonde, no head. Nose is unusual for a mead, with a salty, smoked meat character, probably from the Sacch Trois, with subdued honey. Flavour is intensely and sharply sweet, with lots of honey nectar, sharp spiciness, and smoked, salty, funky meat. I'm not sure I'm convinced that this works. Cloyingly sweet and bizarrely funky. Strange.
