200ml @ Alex's. Appearance: clear golden. Aroma: herbs on herbs and a honey. Taste: along the same lines, lots of honey and herbs, reminds me a bit of herbs based medications 😁 Overall: good one.

Bottle - Herbal, honey, ice and berry. Pinkish orange. Sweet, spicy with some warm orange and nice semi sweet finish. Quite nice.

Bottle, pours a clear golden. Nose brings out a strange mix of spices, honey, and raspberry. Flavour is wonderfully cohesive, with raspberries and honey upfront, balanced by an interesting array of spices. Really well-incorporated with all the spices. Very warming, but well-concealed alcohol as well. Very nice unusual mead.

The gentle spice is immediately evident in the aroma, pine forests, mulled tea. Balance between sweetness and alcohol.
2015-03-20, bottle from Legacy Liquor, Vancouver; 200ml
Measured Final Gravity: 1037, 8-4-8-4-17=41
The price tag is too high, 12$ for 200ml. Pink color, bright, sparkling light. Persistent aroma: fruits and spices, rose petals, rosehip, light rosemary, cinnamon; it's a dynamic and intense blend. It's rather sweet, full bodied; herbal and fruity in the front, spicy later, with talk, perfume, and delicate ending astringency.
Tasted side to side, this one is more original and dynamic than the Heart and Fire, but less rich, and with less mead/honey backbone.
I'm usually unimpressed by fruited or spiced mead, but I have to admit that this is some serious piece of work.
