50ml draught at Askheimer Bar, Bryggerifestivalen, third day. Clear golden-brown body, naked at the top, poor lacing. Floral, slightly perfumed sweet fruity aromas. Blended taste of honey and citrus. Sweet honeyed fruity finish. Okay, in smaller amounts. Too sweet in the long run. (Trondheim 30.07.2022).

Harsh and fruit skin peel bitter. Not impressive. Though the base is good. Tronheim beer fest

Bottle. A lighlty oily, well actually sugary, pour reveals a flat, crystal clear deep golden body. The aroma has lots of honey, alcohol and tropical fruityness, with flowers, citrus zest, cellar hints and a distinct herbal touch. I fail to say what herb or herbs though. It's warming, sticky-sweet and full-bodied, with a flavor that feels more tropical-fruity than the aroma. Honey is in the background doing the heavy labor, with orange and grapefruit zest, passionfruit and some herbs and a good dash of alcohol. Some dusty cellar too. Lasting finish. The alcohol feels a bit too pushy in this one, but it's a quite decent and complex mead anyway. 220220
