Bottle at The Sweatest Tasting, Superstition edition. Pale straw no head. Massive sweet honey, melon, cactus, aloe, grassy hops and quite mild citrus, lemonpeel. Big sweet and moderate bitter. Medium body and no carbonation. The hops are a bit weird in the hop. I get a strong agave, aloe, vetplant association.

750ml bottle. 13.5%. Pale yellow gold colour, no head and aroma of mellow honey, orange zesty citrus, floral. Taste is sweet, honey, floral with fruity citrus rind notes and lingering spicy hop resins. Syrupy mouthfeel, medium bodied, low carbonation, semi-dry spicy grassy boozy finish. Very sippable.

08.02.2018, 0,75l bottle sampled @ Schouskjelleren:
Flat, clear light straw colored. Aroma is slightly sweet sour-ish, honey, grass, minerals, citrus peel, grape peel, flowers, booze. Taste is slightly sweet boozy, sugar, booze, minerals, honey, grass, harsh citrus peel, grapes, flowers, apple cores, tiny hints of mint leafs. Slightly sweet boozy mouthfeel. Fair enough.

Sample. Pours clear pale yellow. Aroma is lemon peel, pollen, blossoms, honey. Body is medium, honey sweet, fruity, and yes, hops indeed. I only notice it because I know. Sweet palate. Not entirely balanced and too much blooming petal fruit.

Looks like urine. Aroma is sweet honey with some herb garden, slightly rotten butter, tree bark. Taste is sweet honey with slight alcohol and butter pretzel. A bit alcohol warmth. Not that balanced. Not my favourite mead.

Bottle sample, so many thanks cgarvieuk & FinnIckler! Clear golden color with no head. Aroma is lemon peel, grassy hops, cat piss. Taste is lemon peel, grassy, honey sweetness, but not too much. Oily mouthfeel with a tiny bit or carbonation. Interesting, incredible that this is 12%!
