Bottled. A golden mead. The aroma has strong notes of honey as well as notes of spices among them rose water. The flavor is sweet wtih strong notes of honey and spices. It has a good body, and the alcohol leaves a slight burn in the mouth.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 27 Sep 2008) Pale yellow colour with green tinges. Still. Fruity, sweet nose with distinct notes of honey. Fruity taste with full flavours of honey and a hint of apples. Sweet and full bodied with viscous texture. Doesn’t really stand out in any direction, it’s just solid, well made and very, very tasty. Great mead.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a clear golden. Spicy aroma - plenty of coconut accents for some reason. Quite full-bodied with sweetish honey and spices - extremely intense. The finish is sweet. A very sophisticated mead. 200908

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. (12%) Clear pale yellow. Completely still. Flowery and vinous, like a muscat wine. Sweet, but not disturbingly so, potent and warming. Some sugar burns in the finish. A very elegant mead.
