Bottle, courtesy of fiulijn / Ferris (thanks guys), pours a bright pinkish ruby red. Nose is fairly sweet, with some bubblegum, candied floss, and fresh red berries. Flavour is rather ascorbic and puckering for a mead, with tart berries, a dry honey tone, and light herbal notes. Very low complexity and doesn't even really strike me as a mead so much as a cooler. Not offensive, but not very impressive.

Corked bottle, tasting at Ferris’; vintage 2013
Red color, clean, no head. Very light aroma of berries. Weak and dry mouthfeel; a bit tart, no residual sugars, light fruit flavor; short final. No mead flavor.
Very uninteresting; this is not a mead, it’s a bad tasting cooler, it’s a commercial scam.

Bottle - Vintage 2013 - Honey, raspberry and herbal notes. Light orange red. Lots of raspberry, herbal notes and sweet honey to finish. It’s a little thin and very fruity, but ok.
