Will a rose by any other name smells just as sweet? When we first tasted this rose-infused mead, the name of the famous Southeast Asian rose-syrup beverage came to mind. And surely, what better way to name this than calling it Bandung mead?
Delightfully floral like a bouquet of roses, the mead is dry on the patate with a subtle flavour.

Bottle pour at Mikkeller Singapore, pours a rather disgusting diarrhea. Aroma brings out very earthy notes, with light notice from the rose, and subdued wildflower honey. Flavour is very muddled, with an earthy, yeasty character, light floral notes, but little expression of the honey. Not sure what they did to mess this up, but it's really muddled and imprecise. Poor.

Bottled at Druggists, Singapore. Hazy golden, small head. Intense balsamic nose of tropical blossom and rosebuds. Quite dry with medium body and rounded mouthfeel, no carbonation. Peppery and perfumy with lots of hibiscus. Floral bitter finish. Well made dryish mead with interesting character from equatorial wild honey.
