Bottled at The Birch, Norfolk. Pours a clear pale yellow color with no head and no legs. Sweet honey aroma with herbal and citrus notes. The taste is cheesy, herbal with a tart finish. Unique.

Bottle from New Beer Distro. 1.5 yrs old. Baby Duvel tulip. Don’t understand the low scores for this.
Well chilled. Leggy, shiney, amber orange body.
Smells just like quality, unfermented, raw clover honey. Seriously. Even has a touch of wildflower & soft citrus notes. Darker, maple-y stuff as well.
Taste isn’t as life-changing, but still pretty solid. Very fruity upfront. Mellow plum-ish sweetness. Big apple tartness that cuts any overly sweet notions. Cherry pit. Maple & ash on the finish.
Thin. More honey wine then mead. Lightly slick body. Hidden alcohol. Easy. I’m very surprised.

Notes from 6/12. 5oz sampler glass from Sunset Grill. Clear, golden amber color. Slightly dull though. Scent of smokey coffee, tobacco, & earthy honey sweetness. The honey was a bit overshadowed, now that I think about it. Taste is mild citric honey & brown sugar. Maybe something nutty. Coffee flavor is second runnings, bland coffee. Not bitter or burnt thankfully, but boring, & the honey isn’t bold enough to try & make up for it. Slightly sappy texture initially, turning very thin. No crazy off flavors & mellow alcohol keep it tolerable. Coffee meads do seem to work, but not this one.

Blond color. Strong aroma of pipe tobacco, and nothing else; this can’t be interesting. It’s not even possible to get the sweetness: immediately there is a hot chili flavor (chili extract?), with a quite strong chili feeling, and some tobacco leaves.
No other flavor to talk about. Useless, worthless.

Golden color. Some aroma of coffee and honey, indeed weird; it smells like an ashtray. Very weird flavor too, honey and coffee, ashy.
Strange idea.

Served on draft at Beer Run. My first time having a mead on draft and my first South Africa rating. Woot! This is the Zymatore version aged on French oak. Pours a clear yellow color with slight legs. The taste is honey, floral notes, earth and citrus. The taste is sweet honey, citrus, wood and a slight medicinal quality. Medium bodied with lingering warmth.
