In order to establish this mead we have combined the traditional brew with dried hibiscus. In addition to the color this spice adds an aromatic and floral aftertaste to this mead, like a good madeira.

Poured at Vintag Estates, nice place. What can I say, this is wine. Darker pale yellow. Aroma is sweet. First taste is quite strong and winelike. Sweet mouthcoating wine, viscous to an extent. No carbonation, just flat wine. Of course honey prominent. A little meaty. Better than many beers. Finish is typical and the same as many sweet wines.

ceramic large bottle at home. pours dark orange, no head. spritty, sweetish apricot aroma. i’d say it is a little too spritty, and i miss some honey. the apricot is real nice. flavor is sweet fruity honey, spicy flowery from the hibiscus, burns from the alc. flavor is unusually well balanced for a mead, slight citrussy or flowery notes balance the sweetness. palate is thick, but not too thick. overall a good mead, but i think it is a little bit to stingy from the alc, and perhaps also from the herbs.

FRO throwdown: Copper. Honey and flowers. Notes of agave/tequila? Am I crazy? Flavor is nicely fully sweet, with more peppery hints of tequila. Nice lingering lip-smacking sweetness.

Sample at O-town throwdown ’09 Pours light amber. Plenty of honey and interesting floral notes and light hops. Palate is just very viscous. 19% this one is just sweet and highly enjoyable. This is one fine mead

Golden-amber. Still. Flowery, spicy, slightly gingery aroma. Very sweet, spicy, herbal, floral...complex. Surprisingly refreshing for such a rich, thick mead. Fun stuff.

bottle - Pours deep golden. It has a heavy honey aroma with fairly mild alcohol smell given the abv. The flavor is very sweet, masking most of the alcohol, and is backed by some mild floral and spice notes. Mild hops comes through in the finish. I really enjoyed this one.
