Too bland.

Very pale. On the nose, lots of cinnamon. Soft and uncarbonated. Not much body, and not a lot of sweetness for a mead. Cinnamon and with nothing underneath htat.

750mL bottle pours a clear blonde with a few bubbles of head. Nose is loaded with pumpkin spice, especially nutmeg and cinnamon, with dry honey sweetness. Flavour is very dry, with dry white wine, followed by nutmeg and cinnamon. Not overly complex, but it works well enough. Decent.
