This is a hoppy mead, cooked with noble and american hops. The honey has been previously toasted.
It has a hoppy aroma and a malty taste.
Inspired in high hopped beer recipes, like IPAs.

33 cl bottle bought at Alcalá de Henares's Medieval Fair. Btw, it should be Sus, not Porcus. But anyway. A clear copper pour with no head at all. Aroma is honey, leather, butt-crack (yeah.) Almost no fizz, and that I like. Dry, crisp, somewhat cloying. If this is hopped, I was expecting some bitterness, and there's very little. But it's a long-lingering sip, and that I like. They should enhance it, but it ain't bad.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (M3B: hops). Bottle 33 cl - Batch 21005 (BBF 12/2022). AROMA: medium honey aroma, followed by medium dried grass, medium-low lacquer, slight floral. APPEARANCE: deep yellow color and clear. low white head with low retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with initial low honey with hints of floral notes, medium lacquer. finish with a balance towards high bitterness, slightly sweet with a strong yeasty presence. MOUTHFEEL: medium-high astringency. medium body. very low carbonation. warmth sensation. OVERALL: a mead with added hops with signs of oxidation and execution problems.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Yoav's place. Slightly hazy yellow. Vegetables, honey, paint thinner, fruitiness, sweet. Bad.

Clear blond colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have very light honey sweetness and a little more grassy, floral bitter hop. Surprisingly easy to drink.
