Brewvival 2011, on tap. Hazy golden body small white head Sweet spice honey ad fruit aroma Big spice flavor some fruit and honey Med body mod high carb

Tap at Falling Rock - an interesting combo here - creamy mouthfeel, with very subtle malt character, lemon, herbal tea - light wildflower honey from the mead - moderate phenols - a bit sweet, but it is mead - spicy finish tempers the sweetness - would like to see the beer higher in the mix, but pretty good.

Generous sample pushed on me at EBF after a long list of crap experiments. Actually the unfiltered nano midget ipa right before this was okay. :) Got a New Beer growler pity pour from a mutual fan after complaining that none was reserved for moi. Sea foam & haze. Dusty wheat color. Not too pretty, but interesting nonetheless. Zesty, coriander & powdered sugar scent. Almost something like a mix of faded potpourri & bread pudding, but cleaner. Edging more towards subtle though. Briney, white ale spices & a touch of powdery sweet honey. Albino Python came out quite distinctly. Redstone meads by themselves are pretty unimpressive, but adding just a bit of thin honey to the dusty wheat texture & spices of the already unique white lager was enough. Bit of yeast, bit of rind. Solid carbonation. Thin. An excellent braggot that I’ll probably have to blend more of myself at home since no one has any to sell me. :/

On tap at City Beer. Pours with a hazy golden-yellow body with a creamy white head that lasts for a while and leaves good lace behind. Aromas of honey, red apple, lightly herbal, spicy/grassy hops, chamomile tea, and a large fruity note. Flavors are very spicy, tea, persimmon, a bit metallic, some herbs, a touch of acid. A strange braggot blend. Lively bubbles, dry with notes of tea and ginger in the finish.

Sampled from the tap at EBF. Poured a hazy pale gold with a white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had a decent amount of spice with sweet grains and honey. Flavor started with honey with a growing spice note as well as a decent amount of sweet grains and breads.

A lightly hazed blonde mead with a thick white head. In aroma, herbal honey malt, with light herbal spices, thyme. In mouth, a swet chalky mead, with a bit of cloves, so-so....focus on beer please. On tap at Brewvival, Feb. 26 2011.
