Bottle from Corti Bros. in Sacramento, CA. Pours tarnished honey color with no carbonation. Smooth sweetish aroma of ginger over honey. Medium minus body. Flavor is quite ginger. Slightly peppery impression. Itβs sweet, but the ginger more than balances that. Good clean finish, leaving ginger notes behind. Mouthsmacking.

(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. Doesnβt really stand out in any direction, itβs 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

Small bottle shared with Marcus. Sweet cranberry/honey aroma. Brilliant garnet color. Medium body, no carbonation. Flavor impression is Milk of Magnesia. Chalky. Finish to me is primarily fruity Milk of Magnesia. Very strange.
