In an obscure industrial lair resides the man known only as the evil Dr. I.P.A. Using his hadron colider, hidden deep underground, he has
conducted his most remarkable experiment to date. The result is a perfect balance of
honey and hops. But there are side-effects... His lab rats can’t get enough of the stuff. And soon, neither will you. Introducing the Evil Genius. The big bang is no longer a theory, it’s your reality.

Chilled bottle poured into a snifter at JStax birthday mead tasting. Pours light yellow with some carbonation. Aroma is grapefruit & hops and medium body. Taste is honey with some grapefruit. Not my thing.

Pours clear green-tinged yellow into a snifter. A few bubbles hug the rim. Green apple, honey and sour urine aromas. Perfume, sour apples and bitter honey upfront give way to a twig and earth lasting bitter finish. Nasty.

If this is a mead, I’m a beer expert, heheh. On tap at the vintage estate, nice eye candy. Let me tell you, I’d like to get a bottle of this, the tap was so much better than expected, seriously a really good sweet "beer". Very clear and bubbly, like soda water, makes it very interesting. Sweet fromthe start but never cloying, jsut the right amount of mead eprsonality on a bubbly base. As session cintinues it becomes friendly fun easyu nice, yes, this is a real good session that I nerver expected. If you like lindemans and sweet mead, try this stuff out. Loverly, no really. Yum, IPA its not. Barely any co2. wnt more of this, its gone, bullshit. I f you are thinking about a mead, youy may be dissapointed, its mead flavored beer, which makes it rather watery compared to mead. Very happy I got to try this. Thanks vintage! YUMMY!

Pours very pale yellow color withthin white head. Aromas of grapefruit and pine. Tastes like a hoppy mead. Unfortunately those flavors don’t mix very well. Sweet honey, apple flavor with bitter grapefruit rind and pine. Medium body with syrupy mouthfeel. Definitely not on par with their usually very nice meads.

Colorado mead tasting 2012 - IPA style mead? - lightly hazy light yellow - in the nose, the floral nature of the hops actually works fairly well with the floral notes and sweetness of the honey - much more so than I was expecting - unfortunately, the flavor is a bit of a mess - quite bitter - the hop flavor combines with the more floral notes of the honey, like I the nose, but in this case, it tastes soapy and overly bitter - finish of sandalwood and flower soap - ick.

2012 Colorado Mead Tasting at Armin’s house. Thanks to Stephen! Pours a very light, clear yellow appearance with no head. Spicy, garlic hoppy, a touch fruity, well carbonated aroma. Tangy honey, pear, garlic, a touch piney hoppy flavor. Pretty strange and I’m not a huge fan.

Bottle on Amtrak Train 27 - The Empire Builder ( from Binny’s South Loop) - 04/11/12. Very pale yellow with a thin white head that clears to the edges and forms a small pond. Nose comprises honey and piss, light citrus, farm like, touch of horse. Tastes of sweet sugars, herbs, medicinal qualities, honey, strepsils. Medium bodied with limited carbonation leading to a sweet acrid finish. Meh ! I will admit I have only had a few meads in my time and none for a good few years but this tasted nothing like them.

Half liter bottle. Pours a VERY pale yellow color with a medium sized fizzy white head. Fades quickly. Aroma of spicy hops, sweet honey in the background and an almost toasty note. The taste is sweet honey, banana, bitter herbal hop finish. Medium bodied, slight tannins. Interesting, but not really my thing.
